"To coin the understatement of the century, it’s not often that a tropical storm from the Eastern Pacific moves through Southern California on the same weekend that three tropical storms erupt in the Atlantic. That’s where things stood on Sunday, Aug. 20, 2023 – a landmark day in the annals of hurricane history and a very busy day for the National Hurricane Center, which is responsible for tracking tropical cyclones in both of these areas.
The Atlantic continued busy on Monday: two landfalling storms may arrive by midweek, one near the Texas-Mexico border and another in Hispaniola.
Former category 4 Hurricane Hilary made landfall around 2 p.m. EDT Sunday as a 65-mph tropical storm on the coast of Baja California, Mexico, about 215 miles south-southeast of San Diego. More than 300,000 customers in Mexico lost power as Hilary ripped through the area, and one death was reported in Santa Rosalía, hard hit by flash flooding."
