SAN DIEGO (KSWB) — Tropical Storm Hilary pummeled Southern California with heavy rainfall and gusty winds on Sunday, making history as the first storm of its kind to hit the region in decades. The storm, which was downgraded from a Category 4 hurricane about 24 hours before making landfall along Baja California's coast, brought on a steady downpour that caused extensive flooding, power outages, downed trees and mudslides. The unusual storm marked California's first tropical storm to hit in 84 years.
