Cities like Monrovia and Sierra Madre are hoping for the best but preparing for the worst as Hurricane Kay approaches the Bobcat Fire burn scar.

"If you live up in the hills and you're talking about the fire that burned out all of the vegetation you have nothing that's holding the land in, from holding slides," said Monrovia resident Rick Brotnan. "If you live on the flat it's not that big of a deal."

Hurricane Kay made landfall in Mexico bringing in strong winds and heavy rain to the area. It later transformed into a tropical storm along the west coast of Central Baja California Peninsula Thursday but continued to batter those areas.
