California Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency on Saturday.
Hurricane Hilary neared landfall on Mexico’s Baja California peninsula as a still-dangerous Category 1 hurricane carrying so much rain that forecasters said “catastrophic and life-threatening” flooding is likely across a broad region of the southwestern US.
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.
The US hurricane centre posted tropical storm and potential flood warnings for Southern California from the Pacific coast to interior mountains and deserts as far north as eastern Oregon and Idaho.
