Tropical Storm Hilary is no longer a hurricane but it still carries what forecasters call “life-threatening” rain as it heads toward Southern California. It's being described as an 'unprecedented' weather event, and is the first time such a storm has threatened the state in nearly a century.
TRANSCRIPT
“Over the past few days, the city family has been working around the clock to prepare for the storm, and we are just beginning to see it hit Los Angeles. Our message today is clear: Stay safe, stay home, and stay informed. This is an unprecedented weather event, but Los Angeles has deep experience responding to crisis.
“We continue to be very concerned about the potential for life-threatening flash flooding, potentially catastrophic impacts. We have a moderate risk of flash flooding over places like Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, to the east of Bakersfield, up into central Nevada. And a broad, slight risk with that potentially heavy rainfall moving all the way up into portions of the northern Rockies and into the eastern portions of the Pacific Northwest.
