Meteorologists are warning of a "life-threatening disaster" in Southern California and southwest Nevada as Hurricane Hilary barrels toward the West Coast. As a tropical storm, Hilary formed early Wednesday and intensified into a hurricane by Thursday morning. It strengthened to a Category 4 early Friday morning, with sustained wind speeds of 140 miles per hour. Winds are expected to weaken before hitting Mexico's Baja California Peninsula by this weekend. Forecast models show the storm hitting inland California as a tropical storm overnight Sunday and into Monday.
