Forecasters have issued warnings regarding the potential impacts of Hurricane Polo, which is currently in the southern Pacific.

Why it matters
The potential storm surge is causing concerns about the integrity of the Long Beach Peninsula's infrastructure. In a worst-case scenario, swells could be similar to those caused by Hurricane Marie, which previously led to flooding and required evacuations at 19 coastline homes.
