Hurricane Hilary filmed from space in 4K

We captured an extraordinary perspective of Hurricane Hilary from space.

Hurricane Hilary, the first tropical storm to hit southern California in 84 years, cut off the desert city of Palm Springs as major roads were temporarily closed yesterday by flooding - drenched with 3.18in (8cm) of rain.

The powerful weather system made landfall in the northern part of Mexico's Baja California peninsula on Sunday morning (20 August) and is moving to the north-northeast at 24mph.

Now classed as a post-tropical cyclone, the storm could lead to catastrophic flooding from a historic amount of rainfall, according to the National Hurricane Centre. Evacuation orders for some communities have been issued.
