Hurricane Hilary caused major rain and flooding in Mexico’s Baja California Sur on Saturday.
Video posted to social media by Luis D. Bareno shows a river flowing through Mulegé, Baja California, Mexico on Saturday.
The force of the water and the rising levels would pose a danger to the local population as well as cause damage and flooding of houses and other buildings.
