This morning, weather officials downgraded Hilary to a post-tropical storm. And, in all, the damage wasn't as bad as some forecasters feared.
Still, it battered Baja California in Mexico, where several homes collapsed and one person drowned. When it arrived on U.S. coastlines, it brought chaos to an area where droughts are far more common than this type of deluge. School districts in San Diego and Los Angeles shut down today.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said the city remains on high alert.
Karen Bass (D), Mayor of Los Angeles, California: It's not to say many Angelenos have been — not been impacted by the storm, whether they woke up without power or were unable to get through streets due to flooding and mudslides. As you know, sometimes, damage can occur in the hours and days after a storm hits.
