Whatever you did to prepare for last winter's heavy rain is what you need to do before Hurricane Hilary drenches San Diego County.
As Hurricane Hilary makes its way toward San Diego, KPBS Reporter Melissa Mae says you may be more prepared for the upcoming weather than you think.“Reach back to that and say, ‘What were the problems? What bothered me? What inconvenienced my lifestyle? And then mitigate those,” Chris Heiser, with the city of San Diego'sHe recommends planning ahead for what you might need. For example, if you needed sandbags then, you’ll probably need them again.
Heiser said the rain will likely flood areas that normally flood — like Mission Valley — where warning signs will be displayed. “The first thing we’d ask is if the signs are there, they’re there for a reason,” Heiser said. “Don’t become a part of the problem.”“When it rains, the freeways get slick and you’ll see a significant number of traffic accidents. It’s ok to slow down,” Heiser said. “It’s ok to recognize that hydroplaning is something that is extremely hard to recover from.”
