Tropical Storm Hilary brought historic rainfall to the Southern California region.
Crews have been working tirelessly over the past 24 hours to clear mud and debris, rescue stranded residents and try to restore normalcy to areas that hadn't witnessed such intense rain in nearly a century. Some areas saw rainfall totals that almost met their "In a matter of three minutes, my whole back, my whole bottom floor was filled up with water to waist level," said Ronald Mendiola, a resident of Cathedral City, a desert city in California's Riverside County.
Hilary had strengthened into a Category 4 hurricane in the Pacific before crashing ashore in Mexico over the weekend as it barreled north. It later hit California as a tropical storm. In its wake, entire neighborhoods were buried under mud and debris. One person remains unaccounted for. No fatalities have been reported.
San Bernardino County firefighters found themselves in a dangerous situation when investigating a rumbling sound, only to be confronted by a massive debris flow — leaving the crew temporarily trapped at their station.
