Hilary Flood Threatens To Southern California
Despite weakening off the coast of Baja California, Hurricane Hilary is causing disruptions in Southern California with its moisture-laden winds. Meteorologists warn of potential life-threatening flooding, as the storm could dump more than a year’s worth of rain in desert areas and mountains from Southern California to southern Nevada.
Experts label Hilary’s impacts as rare and extraordinary, with flash flood warnings already in effect due to heavy downpours. While the storm has weakened to a Category 1 hurricane, hurricane-force gusts are still possible as it approaches the coast.
Hilary is expected to make landfall along the upper coast of Baja California, south of Southern California, bringing heavy rains and flash flooding. The main concern lies in torrential rainfall, prompting meteorologists to assign a high to extreme risk for lives and property.
Southern California hasn’t experienced a tropical storm landfall in 84 years, making Hilary’s arrival a significant event. As the storm progresses, residents are advised to stay alert and take necessary precautions to ensure safety.
