Tropical Storm Hilary hurtled towards Mexico's Baja California peninsula on Sunday, blanketing the region with heavy rain amid warnings of catastrophic and life-threatening flooding on the peninsula and in the U.S. Southwest.
Hilary, which had earlier been designated a Category Four hurricane, was downgraded to a Tropical Storm on Sunday morning, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
Early on Sunday, the storm was carrying top sustained winds of 70 mph and its center was forecast to move near or over the northern portion of the Baja California peninsula and then move across Southern California on Sunday afternoon. As of 1500 GMT, Hilary was about 220 miles south-southeast of San Diego, California, the forecaster said. It was moving north-northwest at 25 mph .
Images shared on social media showed flash floods in the coastal town of Santa Rosalia, on the eastern side of the Baja California peninsula, with water gushing down what used to be a road, sweeping away a tree.
