The remnants of Hurricane Hilary pummeled the West Coast on Monday, drenching cities and unleashing dangerous flooding.
Southern California was released from a flood watch by midday, but they remained in effect across several Western states stretching nearly the length of the coastline, from California to Washington, and more inland including Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Idaho, according to the National Weather Service.
While rainfall in Southern California was expected to diminish Monday, Hilary, which was downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone, has slammed the area.
“There’s no way in or out of Palm Springs and that’s the case for the majority of the Coachella Valley. We’re all stuck. Our major freeway, I-10, is also closed in both directions. This is a very extreme situation at the moment,” Palm Springs Mayor Grace Garner said Monday.
