PT update said a gust of 70 mph was recorded at Sill Hill, a mountain peak near the town of Julian in northern San Diego County. The National Hurricane Center said its tropical force winds are spread out 230 miles from Hilary's center. The storm arrived much weakened from its major hurricane status yesterday, but its destruction was nonetheless as predicted. NBC News tracking showed Hilary off San Diego despite forecasts that it would take a path to the east of Southern California's populous coastal geography.
"The closest thing is over coastal waters." "The storm is collapsing in on itself, so there is not a super-defined core anymore," she said. The storm was becoming scattered as it moved north, so estimating an exact time of arrival was difficult, weather service meteorologist Casey Oswant said. Hilary's core arrived in Southern California today sometime before 3 p.m., when it crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, a National Weather Service forecaster said.
One person drowned Saturday in the Mexican town of Santa Rosalia on the peninsula’s eastern coast after a vehicle was swept away in an overflowing stream. The storm made landfall on Sunday on the Baja California peninsula of Mexico. It was the first tropical storm to hit southern California since 1939. Once a Category 4 hurricane, Hilary was downgraded to a tropical depression before reaching California.
