California Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency on Saturday.
Hurricane Hilary is roaring toward Mexico’s Baja California peninsula as a downgraded Category 2 hurricane that is still likely to bring “catastrophic” flooding to the region and cross into the southwest US as a tropical storm.
Rescue workers managed to rescue four other people, according to Edith Aguilar Villavicencio, the mayor of Mulege township.While it was not immediately clear whether officials consider the fatality to be related to the hurricane, footage posted by local officials showed torrents of water coursing through the town’s streets.
In Canada, firefighters on Saturday continued to battle blazes during the nation’s worst fire season on record. Dozens sought refuge at storm shelters in the twin resorts of Los Cabos, at the southern tip of the Baja peninsula, and firefighters used an inflatable boat to rescue a family in San Jose del Cabo after the resort was hit by driving rain and wind.
In the US, the Miami-based hurricane centre issued tropical storm and potential flood warnings for Southern California from the Pacific coast to interior mountains and deserts.
