especially in los angeles. we re hearing of some power outages as well and flight cancellations, parking lots rund water and streets are filling up, making driving not only really difficult but also dangerous. out in palm springs and in the surrounding california desert communities, they, too, got a heavy dose of nonstop rain. at one point the flooding was so bad crews had to pump out water of a local hospital in the area. but it s not just the flooding. all of that rain combined with dry, loose ground, only a recipe for disaster. we saw and heard reports of mud slides mud flows out the region as a result of tropical storm hilary. while we have seen at least one fast-moving river rescue out of ventura county, so far no reports of any serious injuries or deaths here in southern california. in the middle of this historic storm, the first tropical storm to hit l.a. in 84 years, folks in the region were rattled by another possible natural disaster, an earthquake.
