"Officially, the hurricane center forecasts the storm to make landfall about 100 miles south of San Diego around 5 a.m. Sunday, but the 'cone of uncertainty' shows the possible path of the center of the storm as far north as Anaheim — a highly unusual potential incursion into California."
sfchronicle.com
The National Hurricane Center just drew a forecast path into California. Is the threat legit?
Strong winds, large waves and storm surge are possible in Orange and San Diego counties, with heavy rain and flash flooding possible in Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Las Vegas and Phoenix.

L.A.’s steep watersheds — surrounding mountain ranges that rise precipitously to 8,000+ feet in elevation — trap moisture and have periodically turned heavy rains into deadly torrents that have reshaped the region’s landscape and infrastructure. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Commentary: The approaching El Niño is scary, but L.A.'s starred in this horror movie before
The thousands of square miles of mountain watershed around L.A. -- the San Gabriels and the San Bernardinos -- are as steep as roller coasters, and the rain funnels off them in tumults.

L.A.'s 'perfect' Mediterranean weather is a birthright. Why did it disappear this summer?
It's been hot in SoCal, but at least it's a dry heat. Wait. It's not dry — at all. Locals' favorite summertime cliche has been brutally terminated by the worst humidity we've ever seen.

We may seem some genuinely extreme humidity levels along SoCal coastal plain Tue-Wed (yes, even worse than today). As Marie's tropical moisture lingers, temps of 90-100F will combine with dew points of 70F to nearly 80F (!), yielding heat index values as high as ~110F. #CAwx

California scientists and officials are observing higher tides than typical. Swells are eroding beaches, damaging parking lots and bathrooms, and resurfacing long-buried coastal infrastructure — and that’s all before a powerful El Niño even kicks into high gear. www.latimes.com/california/s...

We played this scenario as well with CoC2 and the Germans were able to get to the final countdown pretty fast. The first time was easy because of the full command dice at the start. The second and third time they just lucked into fives for command dice and triple sixes.

Outside of local triggering (eg., aftershocks), the global distribution of big earthquakes is random in time. That means there is an average rate (15 M7+ evets/yr) but the time since the last event doesn't matter. Sometimes we see clusters - if there were no clusters, it woldn't be random.
