Rain from Tropical Storm Hilary lashes California and Mexico, swamping roads and trapping cars

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:02:03 GMT

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Tropical Storm Hilary inundated streets across Mexico’s arid Baja California Peninunsula with deadly floodwaters Sunday before moving over Southern California, where it swamped roads and downed trees, as concerns mounted that flash floods could strike in places as far north as Idaho that rarely get such torrential rain.Forecasters said Hilary was the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years, bringing flash floods, mudslides, high winds, power outages and the potential for isolated tornadoes.Hilary made landfall along the Mexican coast in a sparsely populated area about 150 miles (250 kilometers) south of Ensenada, then moved through mudslide-prone Tijuana, threatening the improvised homes that cling to hillsides just south of the U.S. border. At least 9 million people were under flash-flood watches and warnings as heavy rain fell across normally sunny Southern California ahead of the brunt of the storm. Desert areas were especially susceptible alo...

Progressive Arévalo leading Guatemala election after corruption angered voters, early results show

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:02:03 GMT

GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Outsider Bernardo Arévalo led Sunday’s election to be Guatemala’s next president after voters became angry at widespread corruption and leaders’ failure to tackle it, early results showed.A potential victory by the progressive candidate is almost certainly distressing politicians who have been enjoying impunity for corruption, along with some members of the monied elite and their allies in organized crime.With about 90% of the votes counted, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal reported that the son of former president Juan José Arévalo, representing the Seed Movement, led former first lady Sandra Torres by 59% to 35%.The results are unlikely to be the last word: It took more than two weeks for the results of the first round of voting in June to be certified. Losing parties got the courts to intervene and order a review of precinct vote tallies.When electoral authorities were finally ready to certify, the Attorney General’s Office announced an investigation int...
