Your local government should provide sand, check their social media. Remove things from your yard. Go buy essentials. If you lose power keep your fridge closed as much as possible. Don’t try to drive through flooded areas. Stay safe :3

We get both flooding and high winds in LA fairly regularly, just usually not both at once. If I was planning to be out driving or walking around in it I might be worried about it, but I don’t live near a flood zone or a mudslide zone. The biggest risk to me is something hitting the windows, which can happen during the Santa Ana winds anyway (and hasn’t yet).
The “year’s worth of rain” is mostly clickbait that applies to certain desert areas of LA county. For my area this won’t even be the rainiest day we’ve had this year.
I’m not unfamiliar with the havoc hurricanes can wreak, I grew up on the east coast and have been subject to them. But the west coast isn’t the east coast flipped backwards, the cold ocean here takes the steam out of hurricanes to a degree that you don’t really see on the east coast. Right now in San Diego the water temp is 65 F, and hurricanes rapidly lose strength below ~80 F.
Yeah I see that, its terror media these days. Scare you away from anything that might be sensible.
That I agree 1000%, I did not like getting in the ocean when I was on the left coast. New England loved it, then didn’t like it in Florida depending on the winds and the jelly fish.
That tracks.
But I will say every surfer is going to be out for this hoping for swells/breaks.
That said stay safe just in case!
