A series of weather-related crises are unfolding across the United States and Canada.

The Associated Press is reporting that despite being downgraded from Category 4 to Category 2 status, Hurricane Hilary is moving strongly along the Mexican Pacific Coast.

It approaches the Baja Peninsula and will cross into Southern California late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. Only one death has been blamed on Hilary so far, but dangerous flash floods, mudslides, powerful winds and power outages are still considered very possible.

At the same time, Canadian firefighters are involved in battling wind-whipped blazes across wide areas of British Columbia, while record high temperatures are broiling Oklahoma and Texas and the New England area is recovering after being hit by at least four tornados.
