Hurricane Polo Will Hit the US Hard Without Making Landfall
Last week, a tropical storm off the Pacific coast of Mexico exploded into a Category 5 hurricane in just 24 hours, undergoing one of the most rapid bouts of intensification on record in the eastern Pacific and leaving meteorologists gobsmacked. Some described the storm’s development as “jaw-dropping,” “truly remarkable,” and even “absolute insanity.” Polo has since weakened, but it is still a major Category 3 hurricane. It’s set to make landfall on the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula in northern Mexico today, bringing life-threatening storm conditions to Baja California Sur.
