If Hillary was occurring between Gulf Shores and Panama City, it would not be nearly the big deal it’s getting hitting the California coast. Could that be enough to get the name retired?

Tornado threat has increased

Tornado threat should stay to my east but the rain is on. Latest forecast calls for 3-4'' downtown but could get up to 5'' here.

Los Angeles , which is under a tropical storm warning, just had an earthquake to boot.
