Hurricane Hilary: What's In A Headline? First Tropical Storm To Hit California In Eight Decades Is Downgraded Within 2 Hours Of Making Landfall
This is Sky News, right now:
Except, right now, it’s no longer a tropical cyclone, it’s a post tropical cyclone:
So when did it strike California as a tropical storm ‘for the first time in eight decades’?
At 08 47 this morning (just over 2 hours ago):
So, although technically it may have been a tropical storm when it first made landfall, it was downgraded to just a storm within 2 hours - when, precisely, we do not know. But the Sky News headline remains. Whatever flooding happens now from ex Hurricane Hilary, ex ‘first in eight decades to hit California’ tropical storm, will be due entirely to a cyclone, a storm, of which many have affected and will continue to affect California in the past and in years to come, regardless of any supposed ‘climate crisis’.
Just another case of the MSM hyping a weather event to cause unnecessary alarm and promote the twisted 'climate crisis' agenda:

Having just "survived" Hilary, while it was a fair amount of rain, for August, it was NOT like surviving a hurricane.
I'm sure there were unprepared and unlucky folks who suffered somehow, but for the vast majority (isn't that the cornerstone of 'muh democracy!'?) is was just a very wet early fall storm.
At least we won't have to worry about the the usual summer wildfires for a week or so.
