DAMIAN DOVARGANES and JORDI LEBRIJA (Associated Press)SAN DIEGO (AP) — Deadly floodwaters inundated streets across Mexico’s arid Baja California on Sunday as Tropical Storm Hilary moved ashore carrying torrential rain into Southern California, and concerns mounted that flash floods could strike in places as far north as Idaho that rarely get such heavy rain.Forecasters said Hilary was the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years, bringing the potential for flash floods, mudslides, isolated tornadoes, high winds and power outages.Hilary made landfall along the Mexican coast in a sparsely populated area about 150 miles (250 kilometers) south of Ensenada, on a path to hit mudslide-prone Tijuana Sunday evening, threatening the improvised homes that cling to hillsides just south of the U.S. border. At least 9 million people were under flash-flood warnings as heavy rain fell across normally sunny Southern California ahead of the brunt of the storm.

The coastal waters off California are much cooler than this and don't provide the necessary heat energy to fuel the development and intensification of hurricanes. These storms, however, do form in the warmer waters of the Pacific Ocean further south and can maintain intensity as they move northward, which is the case with Hilary.Tropical Storm Hilary: how much rain has fallen so far?
