"Storm Hilary's Impact: Tesla Fires and Reservoir Water Levels in California"

Flash flooding caused by Tropical Storm Hilary in California could potentially lead to fires in electric vehicles (EVs), similar to incidents that occurred in Florida after Hurricane Ian. At least 12 EVs caught fire in Florida due to their batteries being exposed to floodwaters. The flooding in California, which has a high number of EVs, including many produced by Tesla, could pose a risk to these vehicles. Experts warn that any flooding can cause EVs to short-circuit. While there have been no reports of EV fires due to flooding in California yet, caution is advised, and vehicles exposed to flood conditions should be inspected carefully.

Strong winds and an earthquake have added to the chaos. Rescue efforts are underway, with at least a dozen people being rescued from a senior boarding care facility in Cathedral City.

Record-Breaking Rainfall in Los Angeles: A Timeline and Impressive Totals

Storm Hilary, now a post-tropical cyclone, has brought historic rainfall, flooding, and mudslides to Los Angeles, breaking "virtually all" of the city's daily rainfall records. The storm made landfall along Mexico's Baja California Peninsula and moved through Tijuana, threatening improvised homes on the hillsides south of the U.S. border. Hilary is the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years and has caused power outages, flooded roadways, and downed trees. The National Hurricane Center expects "life-threatening and locally catastrophic flooding" in parts of the southwestern U.S., with additional rainfall expected. Coastal warnings have been discontinued, and the storm is expected to dissipate later in the day.
