The arrival of Tropical Storm Hilary has unleashed heavy rainfall on Southern California, causing flooding in areas that are unaccustomed to such conditions. The usually dry landscapes have transformed into temporary rivers, with streets and highways becoming impassable.
The rainfall brought by Tropical Storm Hilary has resulted in localised flooding, with some areas experiencing record-breaking rainfall levels. The Los Angeles River, which is known for its dry riverbed, has swelled with water, threatening nearby communities. The San Diego River has also seen a significant increase in water levels, leading to concerns about potential mudslides in the hilly areas.
As Tropical Storm Hilary unleashed its fury on Southern California, emergency crews and local authorities sprang into action to ensure the safety of residents and mitigate the damage caused by the heavy downpour. The response and preparedness efforts for the storm have involved a coordinated approach, involving various agencies and organisations.
