Hold onto your hats – Tropical Storm Hilary has made landfall, first hitting the coast of Mexico before travelling north into southern California. Schools are closed in Los Angeles and San Diego as the state’s first tropical storm in more than 80 years saw several residents rescued from flash floods. Videos show the treacherous conditions with streets turning into rivers leading California’s Governor Gavin Newsom to warn locals to “take nothing for granted”. Hilary is heading towards Nevada, and if it maintains its strength, it’ll be the first tropical storm to hit the inland desert state since records started. And if that weren’t enough, California was hit with a 5.1 magnitude earthquake on Sunday – no injuries were reported. As for the fires in Canada, PM Justin Trudeau has sent in the military to help with evacuations in British Columbia. Officials say conditions have improved, helping to put “boots on the ground” and dump water on flames from the air.
