The U.S. National Hurricane Center issued a tropical storm watch for a wide swath of Southern California
from the Pacific coast to interior mountains and deserts. Officials talked of evacuation plans for California’s Catalina Island.
Early Saturday, the storm was centered about 240 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja peninsula. It was moving north-northwest at 13 mph and was expected to turn more toward the north and pick up speed. “We are a vulnerable city being on one of the most visited borders in the world and because of our landscape,” she said.The National Park Service closed Joshua Tree National Park and Mojave National Preserve to keep people from becoming stranded amid flooding. Cities across the region, including in Arizona, were offering sandbags to safeguard properties against floodwaters.
“I urge everyone, everyone in the path of this storm, to take precautions and listen to the guidance of state and local officials,” Biden told reporters Friday at Camp David, where he is meeting with the leaders of Japan and South Korea.
