Because, for the past week, the National Weather Service, state and local authorities, and national and local media have been ceaselessly warning that a tropical storm would hit Southern California on Sunday night and Monday with a "Life-threatening" intensity not seen since the last tropical storm hit California in 1939, 84 years ago.
On Saturday, CNN reported, "California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday proclaimed a state of emergency Saturday for a large portion of Southern California, as the state prepares for a historic hurricane expected to cause extreme rain and flooding."
The National Weather Service warned that residents in the Southwest are bracing for "Catastrophic and life-threatening flooding with the harshest impacts expected on Sunday into Monday."
On Sunday, The Los Angeles Times headlined, "L.A. Unified closes schools Monday to ensure campuses are safe after Hilary."
How much people panicked was made sadly evident there.
No schools open, no government offices open, dire emergency warnings - all about almost nothing, certainly in Los Angeles County.
Apparently, many Americans learned nothing from the 2020-2021 lockdowns.
