#137: We spent all weekend bracing for our first tropical storm in decades. BUT
Hilary didn’t get as wild as expected  — at least in some parts of the region. 

So far there haven’t been any deaths or major injuries reported. But we did get a LOT of rain, about 7 inches in LA county. 

Even though the disaster didn’t quite match our biggest fears - we got a chance to see what our city’s response would be to a major environmental catastrophe. 

To get a better sense of it, we’re checking in with some of our reporters at LAist.

Guests: Jacob Margolis, science reporter for LAist; Erin Stone, climate emergency reporter for LAist; Nick Gerda, unhoused communities reporter for LAist
