Video. Hurricane Polo brings powerful waves to Mexico's Pacific coast
Authorities evacuated coastal areas and deployed thousands of military and Red Cross personnel as the Category 4 storm brought 155 mph winds and dangerous surf.
- On Thursday, Hurricane Polo battered Mexico's Pacific coast with heavy rain and high surf, forcing residents in Lazaro Cardenas to stack sandbags as waves threatened their businesses.
- The system fluctuated between Category 4 and 5 strength, fueled by El Nino conditions that historically boost Pacific tropical cyclone activity while dampening the Atlantic hurricane season.
- Polo swirled about 195 miles west-southwest of Zihuatanejo on Thursday, packing sustained winds of 155 mph with hurricane-force winds extending up to 40 miles from the eye.
- Thousands of military and Red Cross personnel deployed for preventive measures, while Southern California faces indirect impacts including dangerous rip currents and 7-foot morning high tides Sunday through Tuesday.
- Locals remain anxious due to memories of 2023's Hurricane Otis, which devastated Acapulco, as forecasters expect Polo to shift northwest Saturday, moving further out to sea.
