Thanks for following along on this story, but we are closing down this live blog now. 

One person was killed and another is missing after Storm Hilary brought flooding and record rainfall to Mexico and California. 

At least nine million people in southern California were under flood warnings and told to expect potentially "life threatening" rain, mudslides, tornadoes, high winds and power outages.

Parts of the state were also placed under a state of emergency.

Los Angeles residents woke up to better news this morning as it emerged no further deaths had been reported and that the area had "dodged a weather bomb".

You can read an overview of what happened here: 

Uprooted trees have caused significant damage to cars in California following Storm Hilary. 

Sun Valley resident Maura Taura surveyed the damage outside her home after finding two vehicles crushed under a fallen tree.

Storm Hilary no longer meets the threshold for a tropical cyclone, according to the National Weather Service. 

All tropical storm warnings for southern California have now been cancelled as a result. 

For context, a tropical cyclone is a "rotating, organised system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or subtropical waters and has a closed low-level circulation", as per the NWS. 

Earlier, authorities in Los Angeles said they had "dodged a weather bomb". 

They said parts of southern California can still expect water on roadways, mudslides and light rain showers, but the worst is over. 

Residents in California's Cathedral City are stuck inside their homes as the recovery effort begins. 

Local fire chief Michael Contreras said parts of Cathedral City were seeing "debris flow" of a "large amount of the mud and sand". 

People are "trapped" in their homes waiting for roads to be cleared, he told CNN. 

Rescue teams were able to extricate seven people and will now go round house-to-house "making sure that the people who want to get out can get out".

Mr Contreras urged people to stay inside and off the roads. 

Cathedral City is about 100 miles east of Los Angeles.

Although skies are clearing in California, flooding is still occurring in the Mount Charleston area west of Las Vegas. 

The threat of flooding in states further north is highest across much of southeastern Oregon, including the west-central mountains in Idaho. 

The area is expecting "record-breaking precipitation". 

Meanwhile, forecasters are watching a disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico which has an 80% chance of developing into a tropical disturbance or tropical storm before it reaches the western Gulf coastline tomorrow. 

People along the coast in northern Mexico and Texas have been urged to keep updated with what is happening. 

Tropical storm watches or warnings could be issued later today. 

Mud and debris have been seen coursing through Oak Glen, about 26 miles southeast of the city of San Bernardino. 

San Bernardino County, which experienced heavy rainfall during the storm, is just east of Los Angeles. 

Although Storm Hilary has resulted in less significant damage than expected, further weather events are brewing in the Atlantic.

Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine has formed near the Gulf of Mexico and is expected to become a storm before it reaches the Texas coast, the US National Hurricane Centre said.

In its latest update, it said the system was about 480 miles east-southeast of Port Mansfield, Texas. 

It had maximum sustained winds of 30 miles per hour.

The storm could have been much worse, according to local authorities. 

Alberto Carvalho, superintendent of the Los Angeles unified school district, says in a news conference: "Some will say that we dodged a bullet - I will say we dodged a weather bomb." 

He says the storm "could have been rather disastrous" due to "dynamic conditions that kept shifting on us". 

Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass is giving an update on what she called an "unprecedented weather situation" in the city.

No deaths or significant risk of injury have been reported so far, she says.

Authorities are taking steps to "survey the damage", she adds. 

Power crews have been mobilised to return power and street teams are responding to road damages, mudslides and road blockages.

Ms Bass says people have been working from home today, but tomorrow there "should be no reason for everyone to be back to work in person".

Los Angeles fire chief Kristin Crowley says her crews have received a "significant number of storm-related calls". 

Residents should be aware of the threat from mudslides and uprooted trees, she says. 

Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass is expected to make a statement on the storm at around 4pm UK time.
