Parts of California are still under water, roads are blocked by mud and rubble, teams are coming to help those affected – but according to initial estimates, the sunny state of California got off lightly following the passage of Pacific tropical storm “Hilary”. So far, no injuries or deaths have been reported, said Brian Ferguson, spokesman for the California Civil Protection Agency, on Monday (local time) according to the New York Times. The preparations and warnings in advance of the storm had paid off.
