| 2023-08-21 |
| [GEO.TV] As the powerful storm Hilary rushed to the southwestern part of the United States entering from Mexico, heavy rains lashed Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Sunday causing panic among people after authorities launched evacuation efforts to save lives amid a life-threatening flood warning. Mexican authorities reported that at least one person was dead after flood water swept roads. Images on social media showed raging torrents gushing down city streets that have been turned into rivers. Officials warned residents to stay indoors and keep emergency supplies in hand. Airport operations in San Diego and Los Angeles were forced to halt with sporting events in the area cancelled. About 250 flights set for Sunday at the San Diego International Airport have been called off and another 382 Monday, according to the FlightAware website. Storm Hilary, which made landfall earlier in the day in the northern part of the Baja California peninsula, has been weakening over the last 48 hours. |

| #1 Hilary is now 'post tropical'. A lot of rain has fallen and consequently some water damage and drownings, some wind damage also. Sadly, this storm didn't help Lake Mead much as the main plume of precipitation was west of that drainage basin. |
