Hurricane Polo Threatens Baja California Coast

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
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.
💡 Why it matters
This near-record storm poses a direct threat to Baja California's coastal communities, potentially causing catastrophic wind and flood damage while disrupting Pacific shipping and emergency response.

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.
