No tropical storm has made landfall in Southern California since Sept. 25, 1939, according to the National Weather Service
Early Friday, Hilary was centered about 360 miles south-southwest of Los Cabos on the southern tip of the Baja peninsula. It was moving northwest at 10 mph , and was expected to turn further toward the north.
“Heavy rainfall in association with Hilary is expected to impact the Southwestern United States through next Wednesday, peaking on Sunday and Monday,” the hurricane center said. It said there was a substantial danger of flash flooding in an area stretching from San Diego to Las Vegas. SpaceX delayed the launch of a satellite-carrying rocket from a base on California’s central coast until at least Monday. The company said conditions in the Pacific could make it difficult for a ship to recover the rocket booster.
