possibility of a thunderstorm. but notice as we show you the rain forecast, the rain is generally to our north and our east. in fact, we'll see scattered showers could be heavy at times through the stockton area, but rainfall estimates for the immediate bay area is little to none. we may get a few hundreds in some spots. ukee may get for hundreds of an inch. so i'll let you know what you can expect because we also have some changes midweek. >> reggi frances, thank you. now to the historic storm that swept through southern california. the la area seeing major damage and flood waters overnight. storm alert stayed in effect for millions as tropical storm hillary moves north, but already multiple daily rainfall records have been shattered in the southwestern part of the state and let's look at this now. new video into our newsroom this morning. this was the scene overnight in cathedral city. this is just outside of palm springs roads are flooded. and as you can see, cars have just been abandoned in this video,

it's clear how fast and strong the flash flood is pushing through the area. jobina at the live desk this morning with more high jobina. >> hi, reggie. thank you, hillary is the first tropical storm to hit california in more than at eight decades. and much of the damage is expected to become clear at daybreak after hillary pushed into southern california with fierce winds and heavy downpours. the national hurricane center says hillary is now a post-tropical cyclone that's expected to produce heavy rains and high winds as it continues to move through the southwestern us, bringing life-threatening flooding and gusty winds. one man is dead after being swept away in mexico. we've also seen at least a dozen rescues in san diego and palm springs, east bay. congresswoman barbara lee spoke to cnn from oakland last night saying the federal government is ready to help. >> i stand ready to do everything i can do personally in my capacity as a member of the house appropriations committee to make sure that

lives are saved and that people do not are not negatively impacted by this tropical storm . and so this is a moment where everyone is working together to make sure that we provide the mitigation efforts and the emergency prepare and the funding to make sure that california is not and its residents are okay after this devastating storm. >> flood watches remain in place for over 25 million people from southern california to northern idaho. the los angeles unified school district, which is the nation's second largest school district, will be closed today because of hillary sobel campuses in the pasadena unified school district and also the san diego unified school district. >> thank you, jobina. some of the most serious storm damage we've seen has been in the palm springs area. if you look at this video, you can see this golf course overrun by water. it looks more like a river. now, desert neighborhoods have also been left underwater. and you

can see there were also intense winds as that storm moved through multiple flash flood warnings have been issued across the region and in san diego, the storm is being blamed for causing these boulders to fall onto the road on interstate eight. an imperial county. that portion of the highway was closed yesterday. so crews could remove the boulders off the roadway. >> marin county fire says it'll be deploying as flood search and rescue team to kern county. these are photos shared with us with some of the equipment they're going to use. this is not just a marin county based crew. it's made up of 16 people with petaluma and santa rosa members to local help is not just coming from the north bay. it's an all hands on deck effort . and abc7 news reporter amanda castillo live this morning with more on the bay area's rescue response and the impact that we're seeing here from the storm. hi, amanda. >> hi, reggie. yeah, after days of anticipation, we saw hillary make landfall over several southern california counties as as we've detailed this morning.

and so we're also feeling the ripple effect here in the bay area, not just when it comes to travel, but also when it comes to teams of first responders. i checked earlier this morning and flightaware in is showing that in the last 24 hours, it attracted dozens of delays and cancellations between the bay area's three major airports. certainly not all disruptions are due to hillary, but we know airlines have issued waivers specific to the storm. and the program manager for fema's california task force force, several bay area agencies are deploying teams to assist members of the oakland fire department are down in riverside county to help local first responders. california task force four has even sponsored one swift water type one team. this is what reggie was talking about. includes 16 personnel boats and their transportation to go and respond to anything that the local agency needs them to do. and beyond hillary's impacts, crews were also dealing with a 5.1 magnitude earthquake yesterday morning as well, which struck in ventura county.

>> i mean, for them, the challenges, of course, they're an unknown country, meaning like that not familiar to them. >> it's a combination of a whole bunch of weird things happening all at the same time. but you know, we're used to the state of california, so we do a lot of juggling. >> likewise, travelers had to do quite a bit of juggling with their writing careers. abc7 news was here at sfo yesterday as our by our dozens of flight from sfo to most southern california destinations were canceled because of hillary and i checked this morning a number of airlines with flights going through to or from southern california destinations all have some specific travel waivers, i should say specific to tropical storm hillary. that's all what we're going to be talking about in the next half hour. but for now, reporting live at sfo, amanda delcastillo, abc seven news. >> amanda, thank you. and you can track you can continue to track hillary using the hurricane tracker on abc7 news as details about where the storm
