CNN —Hilary has weakened to a post-tropical cyclone that’s still bringing life-threatening flooding and gusty winds to much of the Southwest US, leaving streets like raging rivers and residents ordered to leave their homes.
“Areas that normally do not experience flash flooding will flood,” the National Weather Service said.
Strong and gusty winds are expected to persist across portions of the western US Monday, particularly in and near areas of higher terrain.
Cars were stuck in floodwaters in the Spanish Hills area, the National Weather Service reported.
The Los Angeles Unified School District – the nation’s second largest school district – will be closed Monday because of the storm.
