The first tropical storm to hit California in eight decades has broken rainfall records, flooded parts of the state and grounded flights, and the governor has called a state of emergency - but no one has died and the Los Angeles official said 'we dodged a weather bomb'.
Uprooted trees have caused significant damage to cars in California following Storm Hilary.
The threat of flooding in states further north is highest across much of southeastern Oregon, including the west-central mountains in Idaho. 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.
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. 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."
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".
