Important Takeaways:
- California officials respond to Tropical Storm Hilary, an Ojai quake and wildfires
- California received a one-two punch from Mother Nature as Tropical Storm Hilary unleashed torrential record rains and flooding across Southern California, and an earthquake struck near Ojai — all during what has historically been the state’s wildfire season. The wild weekend prompted Gov. Gavin Newsom to head south, declaring a storm state of emergency even before crews began struggling to respond across a wide swath of the state.
- The storm is the “wettest tropical cyclone in state history” according to Newsom’s office, and the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years. The National Weather Service issued what it termed “life threatening” flash flood and tornado warnings, the Navy pulled its ships out of San Diego’s harbor, Death Valley National Park shut down, and public schools in Los Angeles and San Diego announced they would close today, with plans to resume classes tomorrow.
- Newsom: “There’s an old ancient curse that loosely is translated to, ‘May you live in interesting times.’ It’s certainly interesting times — tornadoes, lightning strikes, I’ve got CalFire worried about wildfires…. I walked out of the Office of Emergency Services in San Bernardino, check my phone and learned about an earthquake.”

- Halfway Thru 2023, 175+ New Madrid Quakes Have Shaken Missouri
- Now that we’re almost halfway through 2023, let’s do some quick earthquake math. There have been more than 175 measurable quakes along the New Madrid Fault in the seismically-active part of Missouri.
- Purely out of curiosity I decided to do a custom search on the USGS earthquake website to see how many shakers have been recorded along the New Madrid Fault so far in 2023. Here’s the result. As of this writing, there have been 176 measurable quakes in that region since January 1, 2023.
- There were a few mini-swarms so far in 2023, but again within the norm. Nothing to give reason to think anything is a precursor to the feared 7.7 quake the USGS thinks is possible.
