Hurricane Polo Threatens Baja California Coast

Hurricane Polo, registering 892 millibars, is the second-most intense east Pacific hurricane on record, with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph. It is barreling toward Mexico's Baja California region, fueled by exceptionally warm Pacific waters.

🐿️ Squirrels should watch Polo's west-northwest turn, as its 40-mile hurricane-force wind field could flatten coastal nut-bearing trees and disrupt their food caches.
