San Diego Gas & Electric CEO Caroline Winn said at the news conference that the utility company was prepared to handle outages but that high winds and heavy rain may affect crews' abilities to respond. "We need to really heed the warnings that the worst of the storm has yet to come." We need to stay home," Martinez said today. "However, we need our communities to also help us out. San Diego County Sheriff Kelly Martinez said that officials have done well to prepare for the unprecedented storm and that first responders stand ready to react to emergencies throughout the county. The normal rainfall in Southern California and San Diego is nothing in August. "In some places in the deserts, that's a year's worth. "Our mountains and deserts could receive as much as 5 to 10 inches of rain," Tardy said today at a news conference. He noted said it is the first tropical storm to hit the area since 1939.
local time, said Alex Tardy, a National Weather Service warning coordination meteorologist.

PT update said a gust of 70 mph was recorded at Sill Hill, a mountain peak near the town of Julian in northern San Diego County. The National Hurricane Center said its tropical force winds are spread out 230 miles from Hilary's center. The storm arrived much weakened from its major hurricane status yesterday, but its destruction was nonetheless as predicted. NBC News tracking showed Hilary off San Diego despite forecasts that it would take a path to the east of Southern California's populous coastal geography. "The closest thing is over coastal waters." "The storm is collapsing in on itself, so there is not a super-defined core anymore," she said. The storm was becoming scattered as it moved north, so estimating an exact time of arrival was difficult, weather service meteorologist Casey Oswant said. Hilary's core arrived in Southern California today sometime before 3 p.m., when it crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, a National Weather Service forecaster said. One person drowned Saturday in the Mexican town of Santa Rosalia on the peninsula’s eastern coast after a vehicle was swept away in an overflowing stream. The storm made landfall on Sunday on the Baja California peninsula of Mexico. It was the first tropical storm to hit southern California since 1939. Once a Category 4 hurricane, Hilary was downgraded to a tropical depression before reaching California.
