Hurricane Polo churned northwestward just off Mexico’s Pacific coast on Wednesday, bringing heavy rain, dangerous surf and the threat of flooding and landslides to southwestern coastal areas.
Polo was a powerful Category 4 hurricane, according to France 24. Residents in Pacific beach towns prepared for deteriorating conditions as the storm remained offshore. The US National Hurricane Center warned that heavy rainfall could trigger life-threatening floods and landslides, Al Jazeera reported.
Farther north, Fox 5 San Diego reported severe beach erosion in Carlsbad associated with Polo and El Niño.
Meanwhile, Hawaii prepared for Nolo, another system developing during the El Niño-influenced Pacific hurricane season. Forecasts cited by several outlets warned of potentially catastrophic rainfall, dangerous surf and life-threatening flooding. USA Today reported that forecasts raised the possibility of as much as three feet of rain.
Closures and cancellations were announced in Hawaii as authorities and residents prepared for Nolo’s approach. The two storms were affecting separate areas of the Pacific, with Polo threatening Mexico and contributing to coastal impacts in Southern California while Nolo posed a rainfall and flooding threat to Hawaii.
