What happened
Hurricane Polo, a major storm, is causing life-threatening flooding and landslides along Mexico’s west coast, with seawater reported sweeping through homes in port cities. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Nolo is gathering strength near Hawaii’s Big Island, where heavy rains are expected. This severe weather is occurring as El Nino prompts major environmental shifts globally, fueling flooding in some areas and drought in others.
