fortunately, our partners at the national weather service tell us that we should see the high winds startet into tonight and overnight we should return to a more normal trade wind pattern. unfortunately we are not seeing a lot of evidence of more rain showers in the forecast. the low pressure system associated with hurricane dora drove up our normal trade winds which are usually in the 10—20 miles an hour range, up to 30—a0 miles an hour, and some areas recorded gusts of as much as 80 miles an hour and that combined with the very dry fuels from the dry season here in hawaii, created a tinderbox and it did not take much to spark these wildfires. we have seen these kind of wildfires in california, we've seen them in the west coast become ever more present. is that something that hawaii is now banking on having to face more wildfires like this in the future? we know that there is research that suggests that when you put additional energy into the climate system, it means your high—energy events become more powerful, it means dries are dryer, that storms are wetter. we are concerned that we m

the national weather service in the us has issued its first ever tropical storm warning for the states expected to make landfall in mexico later in the baja california peninsula. black warning flags are flying, and police have already been closing roads. across the region, residents have been frantically preparing for the hurricane, filling sandbags and buying fuel generators. officials are warning of potentially catastrophic flooding and landslides. despite the rare nature of this powerful storm, the hurricane is expected to weaken and touch down in southern california as a tropical storm. however, there is alarm over the risk posed to the region's steep canyons, deserts, and dried riverbeds. officials are worried about landslides and major flooding. the last tropical storm to hit california was in 1939, over 80 years ago. this map shows the predicted path this storm might take. yesterday, the centre of the hurricane was located roughly 400 miles south of mexico's southern edge. president biden spoke about the preparations under way. i also want to note that my team is closely monito

yesterday, national weather service telling us we could see up to 7 feet of storm surge at this point. we are around 4 feet, according to the data that we are reviewing right now. and, remember, we are nowhere near the eye of this storm. it is north and west of us. but these bands follow that eye, almost like puppies on a mom dog. just continues to roll through and throw hay mangers into this area. a dangerous situation as the water continues to rise here across the streets. if you are in the big bend, which is north of here, when it goes into the panhandle fishing villages up to 15 feet or more of storm surge expected in those pockets if you haven't left you will be in a dire situation. you will lose communication and power and trees are going to go down here this morning as we are about oh, an hour or so from sunlight and we will have a better assessment of how much water has come into clearwater beach. the inlet across from clearwater beach is clearwater. some of those areas are low-lying, guys. they will see flooding and surge that comes in. this is going to continue for hours and

the national weather service is telling us and as i say that could bring about landslides as well.very dangerous times, but it's all about the rainfall here in southern california. arthel. arthel: absolutely. it is all about the water. did you tell us earlier jonathon there's a possibility of snakes getting into the water? what was your reporting on that? >> yeah. you know, the officials in palmdale and out in palm springs i know you're going our reporter there. next but they have been saying pointing out that this in the desert areas east and north of l.a. is snake season. now those snakes are all going to get washed into that water so what they're saying is if you see standing water, please don't go in there as if you needed any further warnings. that water could be full of rattlesnakes nobody wants to see those in the water so just stay out of any standing water. arthel: absolutely. jonathon hunt thank you very much live there in santa monica. eric. eric: right now tropical storms really rare in southern california. the last one happened 84 years ago that was back in 1939. let's

the national weather service saw it. they're used to this. they say it's not uncommon for faulty sensors or things like that. you know, all across california. so they gave us a call just to let us know that there was obviously some missing data points. they looked at the data and was clearly, you know, inaccurate. valley water spokesman matt keller says the problem was caused as his agency was recalibrating flood sensors along the los gatos creek near lark avenue. water level reporting times are typically adjusted when it's not raining to better predict trouble during rainy season, when residents are in danger of flood conditions. i guess that's a good thing that they're doing that. so that it works better during the last winters. i mean, how you know, how important it was to make sure that we were updating the information we worked with all the cities here in santa clara county to make sure that they had updated information on what the rivers and the creeks were doing. in this case, sensors in the south and north bay signaled an alarming inc

all of us here just got an alert from the national weather service, this part of san bernardino now under a flash flood warning. the national weather service call thing a very dangerous situation, telling residents not to be out on the roadways unless you are evacuating, based on authorities telling you to do so. where we are here as we look over to the side, this is the base of the san bernardino mountains. this whole mountain is under a mandatory evacuation because of the sign over my shoulder here really says it all. this area, prone to mud and debris flows from recent burns. we're going to walk very slowly, because the wind is coming in rapid bursts here. you can see behind me, some of these burn scars. this is what has fire department officials so concerned. in past years, this whole area was subjected to wildfire. what that means is that will significantly change the landscape here should water start rushing down the mountains, down to the lower areas. officials tell us they're very concerned. i spoke not long ago with the battalion chief of the san bernardino fire department said l
