Hurricane Hilary (Plus Earthquake)

Hurricane Hillary has mostly been a dud here in Southern California. Here are the precipitation map from last night and right now:

The storm has moved north, but the rain intensity has dropped off dramatically.

I think it is because the storm took a northwest path, so it came across the colder Pacific Ocean instead of the warmer waters of the Gulf of California. Hurricanes and tropical storms will lose strength as it travels over land or cooler water. It has been raining on and off since last night but has not been that heavy. It is also not that windy outside

I did move my car out of the garage onto the driveway so the rain can rinse off months of dirt and dust.

As if a hurricane/tropical storm was not enough fun, I just received an earthquake warning for a 5.5 quake in Ventura County. My phone sounded a strange alarm, and a voice told me to drop and take cover. It has been about five minutes and I have not felt anything yet.
