Tropical Storm Hilary has made landfall along Mexico's Baja California coast. It's no longer a hurricane, but it's still packing what forecasters call
ENSENADA, Mexico — Tropical Storm Hilary made landfall along Mexico's Baja California coast Sunday as concerns mounted over the storm causing what could be deadly flash flooding in the border city of Tijuana, Southern California and places as far north as Idaho that rarely get such heavy rain.
Other western states could be hit with once-in-a-century rains, with a good chance Hilary could break all-time records as the wettest known tropical cyclone to douse Nevada, Oregon and Idaho. Hilary was expected to remain a tropical storm into central Nevada early Monday before dissipating. "Rainfall flooding has been the biggest killer in tropical storms and hurricanes in the United States in the past 10 years and you don't want to become a statistic," Brennan said in an online briefing from Miami.
One person drowned Saturday in the Mexican town of Santa Rosalia when a vehicle was swept away in an overflowing stream. Rescue workers saved four other people, said Edith Aguilar Villavicencio, the mayor of Mulege township. California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency. The Federal Emergency Management Agency said it has officials inside California's emergency preparedness office and teams on standby with food, water and other help.
Rebecca Glaser and her son Jaden Fitzpatrick, 16, load sandbags into her SUV at Wildwood Park in San Bernardino, Calif., Saturday, as residents make preparations for the arrival of Hurricane Hilary.
