What happened
Powerful Hurricane Polo is bringing torrential flooding and landslides to Mexico’s Pacific coast, while Tropical Storm Nolo is approaching Hawaii with the potential for catastrophic flooding. Polo, which has fluctuated between Category 4 and 5, is causing seawater to sweep through homes in coastal areas of Guerrero. Nolo was forecast to become a hurricane by Thursday night and was expected to approach the Big Island and Maui.
