Hilary brought heavy rains Saturday to portions of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula and the southwestern United States, as officials warned the powerful hurricane was likely to cause “catastrophic and life-threatening” flooding.
“Heavy rains” were affecting portions of Baja California and the southwestern United States, with “catastrophic and life-threatening flooding likely.” Residents and workers in the Mexican tourist resort of Cabo San Lucas have put up protective boarding and laid thousands of sandbags as large waves began crashing ashore.
With sandbags piled protectively around the restaurant, he said, “We’re just looking out for the workers and waiting for the weather to come.” The Mexican government deployed almost 19,000 soldiers in the states most affected by the storm, while the federal electric utility has sent 800 workers and hundreds of vehicles to deal with eventual outages.
The US Federal Emergency Management Agency has deployed teams to areas targeted by Hilary ahead of the storm, and President Joe Biden was receiving regular updates as he prepared to head to Hawaii to survey damage from a devastating wildfire.
