Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took to social media to offer California support as Hurricane Hilary pushes closer to the state’s southwestern coast.
The National Weather Service downgraded Hurricane Hilary from a Category 4 to a Category 3 storm Saturday. The storm is expected to make landfall in Mexico Saturday night and reach Southern California by Sunday.
The hurricane prompted the National Weather Service to declare a tropical storm watch in Southern California, the first time the agency has ever had to do so in the region. The last tropical storm to hit the area was in 1939. “We should never underestimate the power of Mother Nature,” Mr. Newsom said. “California is coordinating with federal and local governments to support communities as they prepare for this unprecedented storm. Heed warnings from local authorities, be ready and stay informed.”
