Hurricane Polo Hits Mexico, Brings Flood Risks to US Southwest and Plains
Hurricane Polo made landfall in Mexico's Baja California Sur as a Category 2 storm with 110 mph winds, causing flooding and fallen trees but no reported deaths. After crossing the Gulf of California, it weakened over Sonora and its remnants moved into the US Southwest, triggering flood warnings and evacuations in New Mexico, Arizona, and surrounding states. The storm's tropical moisture, combined with saturated grounds and a jet stream pattern, is increasing flood risks across parts of the Plains and Midwest, with officials monitoring potential dam failures and issuing evacuation orders.
