Twin Hurricanes Pose Hazards for Baja California and Hawaii

By Rhyter Times Desk · 2h ago

Mexico's Baja California peninsula is preparing for impacts from major Hurricane Polo, according to reporting from NPR and The Guardian. The approaching system is expected to bring dangerous high winds and substantial rainfall, with NPR noting an additional hazard of storm surge along the coast.

At the same time, Hurricane Nolo was tracking away from the Hawaiian Islands on Sunday, the outlets reported. Despite moving farther out, the storm continues to threaten the region with intense wind and downpours capable of causing flash flooding, particularly in areas The Guardian noted are still recovering from earlier storms.
