Things are looking a little apocalyptic over in California right now. The state is known for having extreme weather, with intense heat causing wildfire at times, and earthquakes occasionally strong enough to damage property and roads. Recently though, Californians had to endure a two-for-one as a 5.0 earthquake hit just as everyone was dealing with Hurricane Hilary, and the elite in Hollywood are wondering if it’s the end of times.
Of course, it isn’t, but having two major extreme natural occurrences happening at the same time is enough to have everyone wondering what in the Mother Earth is going on. Due to its positioning on the intersection of two major plates, the Pacific Plate and North American Plate, California is often hit by earthquakes, though the majority of them remain unfatal. Hurricanes on the other hand are less common, but the risk posed by Hurricane Hilary is no joke. This is reportedly a tropical storm, the likes of which the state hasn’t seen in 84 years; according to a CBS report on the matter.
The coincidence of a 5.0 earthquake hitting just as people are battening down the hatches thanks to Hurricane Hilary has not been overlooked, with many taking to social media to share their disbelief at having landed right in a disaster film. Those living in Tinsel Town have also shared their shock, because let’s remember, nature doesn’t care how much money you make, how many films you are in, or awards you have won, it will come for you.
