The Aftermath: The Devastating Impact of Tropical Storm Hilary

Alexis Thornton

Last year

Tropical Storm Hilary, once a powerful Category 4 hurricane in the Pacific Ocean, recently hit the west coast and left a trail of havoc in its wake. This storm brought an unprecedented amount of rainfall, breaking previous records for the region.

As it moved northward, it flooded roads and triggered dangerous events like mudslides and rock slides.

Despite the storm's expected weakening as it made its way north, its effects were far-reaching. Meteorologists predicted that the heavy rainfall from Hilary, which was unprecedented in some of the affected areas, could result in extremely dangerous floods in the southwestern part of the United States.

This threat extended even as far north as Idaho, where residents were cautioned about the potential for flooding.
