Frank causes Twitter uproar for Californians as it turns north
Social media was abuzz with rumors of possible weather impacts along the California coast as Tropical Storm Frank – now a post-tropical cyclone hundreds of miles offshore of San Diego – makes a turn to the north.
After causing a social media uproar in California, Tropical Storm Frank has officially dissipated hundreds of miles offshore of San Diego in the Eastern Pacific, but the basin remains active with Georgette still hanging on as a tropical depression over the open waters.
But Georgette won't be around much longer either.
As of Wednesday morning, the tropical depression had maximum sustained winds of 35 mph and was located more than 1,300 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula.
