What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Hurricane Polo intensified into a Category 5 storm while churning off the Baja Peninsula. The incoming high tides and dangerous surf conditions prompted the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service to issue warnings. In San Diego County, elevated surf led to a rescue involving a surfer who was struck by a large wave while near the coast. Due to the tides, more than 200 olive ridley sea turtle eggs were moved to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach.
