Deaths Caused By Hurricane Hilary To Be Labeled Suicides
LOS ANGELES, CA — As Hurricane Hilary prepares to make landfall in Southern California, the World Meteorological Organization has announced that all deaths resulting from the storm will be ruled as suicides.
The Babylon Bee is a conservative Christian news satire website that publishes satirical articles on topics including religion, politics, current events, and public figures. It has been referred to as a Christian, evangelical, or conservative version of The Onion
We've had this conversation before, I'm well aware. And it's why I chose to post the article, a joke on a thread claiming the hurricane was no joke.
But I understand why you ask. I assume everyone is familiar with the site by now, given its popularity, but I've actually had to explain what the BB is to some posters here when they thought it was real. Imho, that just makes the satire funnier.
Can't get nothing past this guy.

It's okay. You'll be able to afford your next trailer.

Relax, Harvard. Everybody realizes it's a joke.
California has beautiful scenery, but it sure has accumulated a lot of garbage over the past few decades!
If you’re casually posting online during it, it’s no Hugo! Note even close!!!!!

By comparison, Hurricane Don in 2017 turned out to be a tepid, below moderate hurricane that ultimately disappointed by the time it reached the United States: its most ferocious moments came against foreign lands when it picked on Cuba briefly as a Category 2 Hurricane with winds that just topped 100 mph, but by the time it made landfall south of Tampa it was barely a hurricane-class storm with wind speeds around 80 mph. Only a few Florida trailer parks were moderately impacted, as the rest of the state and country knew better than to be bothered by it.......

Better hope it doesn’t flood the agricultural valleys.

I am continually impressed with them.
Hilary Makes Landfall, Destroying Over 30,000 Emails
Hilary Makes Landfall, Destroying Over 30,000 Emails
CALIFORNIA — Hurricane Hilary made landfall today in California, quickly destroying tens of thousands of emails upon her arrival.

Very unusual for southern Calif as the area hasn't had a tropical storm in a long time. Here in Lancaster, we have gotten 5 to 6" of rain in one day with no major flooding. If they have 2" in that area, it's panic time. Some desert areas there are getting 2 or 3 years of rainfall in a single day.
I think the bigger question is the fact the post was made well before Hilary made landfall. So at the time the post was made, even if people were using the Internet during Hugo like they do today, they still would’ve been able to post 3-4 days before it hit.
All that said…I don’t think that was the true intention of the post. Still, the my hurricane was worse than yours (especially before Hilary has even come and gone) stuff is silly. Hugo was devastating to South Carolina. But nationally, most people don’t talk about Hugo like they do Katrina, Andrew, etc…Even as a Category 4, you won’t find it it the Top 10 most devastating hurricanes in US History. Now, if Hugo hit a major city, sure it might rank up there. There a many ways to rate the devastation (death, $$ damage, etc…). Hilary is a strong storm hitting an area that typically doesn’t get them so the area isn’t as prepared as the coasts in the Southeast. I am reminded of Sandy, a category 2, causing massive destruction in the Northeast. The area is expected to get over a years worth of rain in one to two days. There could be mudslides as a result and other conditions that could be awful.

Weak Hurricane Hilary Performance Blamed On Russian Interference
LOS ANGELES, CA — Once-powerful hurricane Hilary was downgraded to a tropical storm as it made landfall over the weekend. What the sources predicted would be complete devastation has instead turned out to be a slight drizzle in the air, increased humidity, and increased instances of Californians...

Wasn't Hugo still a hurricane when it passed through Charlotte, blowing windows out of sky scrapers? Hugo was unusual in that it moved so fast that it was still a hurricane well inland, hitting Charleston, Columbia, and then Charlotte, all in the same night. I know it completely destroyed two large barns on our property in Eastover. It's up for debate as to whether Columbia or Charlotte qualify as major cities, but Eastover clearly does.
I agree with your point about the "my hurricane was worse than your hurricane" argument being a silly one.
I can officially say I've lived through both.
Hugo put a tree through our roof in Camden.
We got some flooded roads from Hilary in Orange County but nothing too serious. That said, it's pretty unusual to see literally any rainfall here let alone a tropical storm. Wildfires are a different story.

****, I was in Bishopville. Went to get away from it at grandmas and went to the eye of the storm.
