CATHEDRAL CITY, Calif. — In a story published August 22, 2023, about Tropical Storm Hilary, The Associated Press erroneously reported Hilary was the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years. The last such storm actually was Nora in 1997. The last tropical storm to first make landfall in Southern California occurred in 1939. Hilary and Nora both first reached land in Mexico.
