So this is happening? It's 100% going to make landfall and we're getting a hurricane in Southern California?

This article breaks it down by location. Basically, it MIGHT be a tropical storm when it hits land, but generally speaking it won’t bother most of us, unless you’re in the desert or mountain ranges, or you’re in a flood zone. Be more worried about flash flooding/flooding than the wind.

Regardless, be prepared for the worst. Iirc they said Katrina wasn’t going to be bad and we all know how fbs turned out.

Mostly storms and floods, the experts and articles go more into detail.

It looks like it will lessen greatly by the time it reaches Southern California.

All the grocery stores in San Diego are getting shopped, people freaking out. I think it'll be fine.

With climate change, this will be someone's the weakest one we see for the next 50 years with hurricanes more frequent on the West Coast.
