As Hurricane Hilary approaches, flights have been canceled

  • Hurricane Hilary’s power decreased from a Category 3 hurricane to a Category 2 storm.
  • The storm is traveling 17 mph quicker than anticipated.
  • Through Monday morning, Southwest Airlines is canceling departures from Palm Springs International Airport.

Hurricane Hilary, whose power decreased from a Category 3 hurricane to a Category 2 storm as it moved towards California, is predicted to bring almost a year’s worth of rain to some areas of the Southwest.

The storm is traveling 17 mph quicker than anticipated and could get weaker as it approaches Southern California from the north-northwest. Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, has proclaimed a state of emergency for a region of Southern California to aid in the response and recovery from Hurricane Hilary.

For anyone who might need to leave their homes due to the storm, Uber has stated that it will offer free rides to temporary shelters. Per rider, a maximum of three visits are allowed.

With the possibility of 10 inches of rain falling in only one day, the Santa Rosa Mountains, which make up the eastern slopes of the Coachella Valley, are anticipated to be severely affected.

To warn the homeless about the danger, authorities in Los Angeles County are searching for and contacting them in riverbeds and other locations with helicopters, bullhorns, and people on the ground.

Storm-related power disruptions are anticipated; Southern California will have power outages, according to Nancy Ward, head of the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services.

Through Monday morning, Southwest Airlines is canceling departures from Palm Springs International Airport. Hilary is “rare and dangerous,” according to a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, with substantial flash flooding, river flooding, mudslides, and debris flows as well as the possibility of wind damage from powerful tropical storm force winds.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has offered support to Californians as they prepare for the storm, saying that Florida is prepared to assist the people of California in every manner necessary because Florida is aware of how difficult hurricanes can be.

A satellite-carrying rocket launch from a station on California’s central coast has also been postponed by SpaceX; the launch is now anticipated to take place on Monday, August 21.
