A major rockslide led to large boulders blocking part of I-8 near Ocotillo, CA. California Highway Patrols are directing traffic around the debris and part of the interstate is now closed due to the damage. #cawx #hurricanehilary
A 5.1 quake can cause minor to moderate damage to structures near the epicenter, especially older structures. It's not unusual for the epicenter to have a communicatons blackout until services are restored.
I suspect we'll get pictures of merchandise down in stores, broken windows here and there, perhaps a collapsed chimney on an older home. But it will take time.
Strictly based on a Google search, the San Cayetano Fault runs through Ojai.
(Ojai is not near the San Andreas Fault.)
Gavin Newsom declares State of Emergency in California even though #Hilary has been downgraded to a tropical storm. CALI might escape a huge storm surge and high winds but not the rain.

All day gray overcast and just now started softly raining. Radar shows more rain east of us, east of Death Valley. Sandbags in place ✅ Gallons of water bought ✅ Tree branch noticed overhanging electric lines removed ✅ #MojaveDesert #Hilary Better to overestimate this one 🌀

Pretty amazing GOES-WEST satellite snapshot depicting a (weakening) #HurricaneHilary on approach to Southern California, numerous thunderstorms across the interior Western U.S., and widespread wildfire smoke across much of the Pacific Northwest and Canada. #Hilary #CAwx
