Millions in US brace for dangerous floods as multiple storms set to hammer eight states

A pair of hurricanes off the US West Coast have millions bracing for dangerous flooding this weekend in several unlikely states.

Meteorologists warn that the remnants of Hurricane Lorena will bring flash floods, severe thunderstorms, and possible power outages to the Southwest by Saturday.

Parts of Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and Utah are predicted to see heavy downpours all weekend and into Monday as the tropical storm moves into the US.

Lorena officially strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane early Wednesday morning before slamming into Mexico's Baja Peninsula.

The storm has dissipated back into a tropical storm as it moves closer to land, but it's still unclear if Lorena will weaken completely before reaching America.

AccuWeather lead hurricane expert Alex DaSilva said: 'The magnitude of Lorena's impacts in Mexico and the US will depend heavily on its track over the next few days.'

Meanwhile, all of Hawaii could be bracing for a historic weather event as Hurricane Kiko continues to rampage through the Pacific Ocean.

The Category 4 hurricane could reach devastating Category 5 strength by the weekend, and the storm is projected to make landfall on Hawaii's Big Island on Tuesday.
