For the coast lines, TS Hilary wasn't as bad as some of the winter storms. On the coast, winds didn't really kick up until 5PM PDT, rainfall totals were around 2 inches. This was due to the eye of the storm traveling very close to the Coastal Range - had it been 50 miles west, the story would have been quite different. Some of the mountain weather stations were reporting 6 to 8 inches of rain.
I'd be interested in what Cajon Pass was like.
