Mexico's Pacific coast is on high alert as Tropical Storm Hilary barrels toward land, bringing torrential rains and flash flood risks before its projected path toward Southern California and Nevada. Once a Category 4 hurricane, Hilary has weakened but remains a major threat, with officials urging residents to prepare for \"catastrophic\" impacts.
What’s Happening?
The storm weakened to Category 2 on Saturday but could still dump 8-12 inches of rain in parts of Mexico and the U.S. Southwest. Flooding, landslides, and power outages are expected to disrupt travel and daily life.
Areas at Risk
Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula: Coastal communities face immediate flooding threats.
Southern California/Nevada: Heavy rain expected Sunday-Monday, with \"life-threatening\" conditions possible.
Stay Safe
Authorities advise stocking emergency supplies and avoiding nonessential travel. Hilary marks the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in over 80 years – a rare event linked to warmer ocean temperatures.
