A bulldozer pushes cars out of the way to clear a partially flooded road following Tropical Storm Hilary in Cathedral City, California, U.S., August 21, 2023. REUTERSPIX: Storm Hilary flooded streets, downed power lines and triggered mudslides across Southern California on Monday after unleashing record-breaking downpours overnight, but no US deaths were attributed to the storm and fears of disaster dissipated.
Rain clouds gave way to clearer skies on Monday as the storm moved north. Once hurricane strength off the coast of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, it was downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone as it moved over the North American mainland. “The roof was our best bet for shelter. Five of us with a 2-1/2-year-old baby,” Mendiola said, trudging through knee-deep mud in his neighbourhood after the storm had passed. “And we did make it to safety by a Good Samaritan passing by and picking us up. All five of us from the roof.”
The storm produced flash floods in the San Gabriel Mountains east of Los Angeles and inundated more densely populated coastal areas of Ventura County northwest of the city. Inland desert towns around the resort of Palm Springs also got walloped.
