I posted this in a comment but going to post it again at the top level. For anyone interested in discussing this, I highly recommend you read the NHC forecasters day 2 summary. Ignore the media, just go straight to the source.
This is very much unprecedented, despite many here posting that hurricane remnants hit CA all the time.
