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 damage 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 nine million people were under flash-flood warnings as heavy rain fell across normally sunny Southern California ahead of the brunt of the storm. Desert areas were especially susceptible to flooding, along with hillsides ...

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:38:45 GMT

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis may have finally stepped over the very thin line he’s been trying to walk between beating Donald Trump in a primary and not chasing off his base.Some conservatives are outraged and the former president’s campaign is demanding that the governor apologize to Trump supporters, all over a comment that’s being likened to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s infamous “basket of deplorables” line.DeSantis made the offending remark while speaking with the Florida Standard, when the Sunshine State’s chief executive was attempting to explain his vision forward for the GOP. According to the governor, simply following the whims of the 45th President’s isn’t a sustainable path to power for conservatives.“If you’re not rooted in principle, if all we are is listless vessels that are just supposed to follow whatever happens to come down the pike on Truth Social every morning, that’s not going to be a durable movement,” he said.The...
