Thankfully didn’t hit the house but still had to get rid of it. Definitely damage can occur with a cat 1.

But I wish California well. The biggest problem I see is they are not getting the two week warning Florida gets for hurricanes. Californians in San Diego and Los Angeles have basically tomorrow to prepare. I hope most have gone to Home Depot for boards for windows and perhaps some water. It’s scary but the sooner it arrives, the sooner it leaves. I hope they have the hurricane in the day time. Ours always are at night and it sucks bad!!!!
