Hurricane Hilary, downgraded to a Category 1 Storm, is expected to bring "catastrophic" flooding to Mexico's Baja California peninsula and cross into the southwestern United States as a tropical storm. The storm has already caused one fatality in Mexico, with heavy rain and flooding reported. Forecasters predict that Hilary will be the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years, bringing flash floods, mudslides, tornadoes, high winds, and power outages. California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency, and evacuation advisories have been issued for certain areas.
