Category 5 Hurricane Polo threatens Mexico’s coast, landfall expected Monday
Officials expanded evacuations and opened shelters as the storm threatened life-threatening flooding, mudslides and port closures, with landfall expected Monday.
- On Monday, Hurricane Polo approached the Baja California Peninsula as a Category 3 storm, prompting Mexican authorities to suspend government work and school activities across Baja California Sur.
- The military deployed nearly 7,000 troops across Baja California Sur while officials activated 169 shelters to protect residents from life-threatening winds and flash flooding.
- In Puerto San Carlos, a fishing port of nearly 6,000 people, high tides and pounding surf breached sand barriers as residents boarded up homes and weighed evacuations.
- Packing sustained winds of 115 mph, Polo marks the first hurricane landfall of 2026, intensified by the El Niño phenomenon causing historic equatorial Pacific warming.
- Crossing the Gulf of California, the storm is expected to make a second landfall in Sonora, while its remnants could douse the U.S. Southwest with heavy rainfall later in the week.
