YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTropical Storm Hilary brought intensifying rain to Southern California Sunday evening, with some mountain and desert areas seeing more than half an average year's worth of rain come down in just one day.
RELATEDHurricane HilaryWhy California should fear tropical storms
Hilary was the first tropical storm to cross into California from Mexico since Nora in 1997, the National Weather Service office in San Diego said Sunday night. If Hilary had come in off the ocean in a landfall in California, it would have been the first tropical storm to do so since 1939.
Mud and boulders spilled onto highways, water overwhelmed drainage systems and tree branches fell in neighborhoods from San Diego to Los Angeles. Dozens of cars were trapped in floodwaters in Palm Springs and surrounding desert communities across the Coachella Valley. Crews pumped floodwaters out of the emergency room at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage.
President Joe Biden, who is traveling to Hawaii on Monday to survey damage from devastating wildfires in Maui, urged "everyone in the path of this storm to take precautions and listen to the guidance of state and local officials."
