Tropical Storm Hilary is drenching Southern California from the coast to inland mountains and deserts even as it begins to weaken.
A motorist walks out to remove belongings from his vehicle after becoming stuck in a flooded street, Sunday, Aug. 20, 2023, in Palm Desert, Calif. Forecasters said Tropical Storm Hilary was the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years, bringing the potential for flash floods, mudslides, isolated tornadoes, high winds and power outages.
The storm walloped California after making landfall in Mexico's arid Baja California Peninsula on Sunday in a sparsely populated area about 150 miles south of Ensenada. It then moved through mudslide-prone Tijuana, threatening the improvised homes that cling to hillsides just south of the U.S. border.
The Los Angeles Unified School District, the nation's second largest school system, and said all campuses would be closed on Monday as did districts across the desert. San Diego schools postponed the first day of classes from Monday to Tuesday.
