What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Polo’s maximum sustained winds are sitting at 145 miles per hour as of Saturday morning.
No Atlantic hurricanes have formed yet this year, and this year has set a record for the longest a season has begun without a hurricane.
The effects of this year’s El Nino crush storms before they get going.
The NHC said coastal parts of Guerrero and Michoacan states could receive 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm) of rain through Thursday, with isolated totals of up to 12 inches (30 cm), raising the risk of life-threatening flooding and mudslides, particularly in mountainous areas.
