But it’s just too close for comfort.. we aren’t ready to call it a fish storm just yet.

Idalia not ideal for Florida and southeast coast
Tropical Storm Idalia is strengthening quickly as it churns toward Florida and could become a dangerous Category 3 storm as it approaches the coast with a mix of heavy rains, high winds and damaging storm surge.
Idalia is expected to intensify into a hurricane Monday and make landfall on Wednesday morning near the Big Bend of Florida as a dangerous major hurricane, according to the National Hurricane Center.
As the storm intensifies, “life-threatening storm surge and dangerous winds” are “becoming increasingly likely for portions of Florida,” the hurricane center said early Monday..

Hawaiian Electric Compromised the Investigation Into the Maui Wildfires
The Washington POST is reporting this information, it is now being dispatched on other news sources as well..
The Hawaii power utility believed to have started the deadly Lahaina fire removed damaged power poles and other equipment from a key fire scene, potentially affecting evidence that is part of an official investigation into how the blaze ignited.
Hawaiian Electric — which acted quickly to restore power on the island after Aug. 8 — hauled away fallen poles, power lines, transformers, conductors and other equipment from near a Lahaina substation starting around Aug. 12, documents show, before investigators from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) arrived on scene. ATF usually responds to bombings and shootings. This is only the agency’s third wildland fire investigation, a spokesperson said. Usually, it’s the U.S. Forest Service’s role, but since the Maui fires were not on any national forest lands, ATF is the primary federal investigative force.
Those actions may have violated national guidelines on how utilities should handle and preserve evidence after a wildfire and deprives investigators the opportunity to view any poles or downed lines in an undisturbed condition before or after the fire started, according to court documents, letters and other records obtained by The Washington Post.

Hilary hell: Hurricane now a Category 4 as West Coast prepares for historic event
Tired of living through weather history yet? It’s relentless.. and becoming so common it just stops feeling historic and instead just awful and redundant ..
Hurricane Hilary has intensified into a Category 4 storm as it nears Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, yet is expected to weaken over the weekend as it brings rain and the threat of flooding to parts of the Southwest US.
Some are worried that it could hit a cat 5 before weakening ..
Hilary was churning about 425 miles south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, early Friday morning with sustained winds of 140 mph with stronger gusts, the National Hurricane Center said.
The updated wind cone (featured as this story’s main image) has an increased chance of tropical storm-strength winds hitting the San Diego area, up from 30%-40% to 40%-50%.
There is also an outside chance of what’s known as a “wet” Santa Ana event, which could bring increased winds, as the circulation pushes north.

Thanks to Hilary, “multiple years’ worth of precipitation could potentially fall in some of the driest parts of California,” Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at the University of California at Los Angeles, said Wednesday.
Among those spots is Death Valley, California, the hottest place on Earth. Death Valley typically receives about 2 inches of rain across an entire year, according to NWS data. Moisture from Hilary could unleash enough rain to give Death Valley 1 to 2 years worth of rainfall in a single day. And Las Vegas could get 2 to 4 inches of rain. It only averages 3.75 inches of rain a year.
Prolonged rain may oversaturate the ground and overwhelm waterways, potentially worsening the flood threat.

LA at risk for hurricane! 80mph winds ! Developing
Tropical Storm Hilary is currently brewing in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Mainland Mexico and is due to develop into a hurricane by 1pm on Thursday and a major hurricane by 1am on Saturday…
By Sunday afternoon, hurricane Hilary is expected to hit Southern California and potentially Los Angeles as a tropical storm.
Only two full-blown tropical storms have hit the coast of California in the last century in 1939!
‘Although it is too soon to determine the location and magnitude of rainfall and wind impacts, interests in these areas should monitor the progress of Hilary and updates to the forecast,’ the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration warned on Wednesday.
