Remanentes del huracán Polo provocan inundaciones y evacuaciones en el suroeste de EE. UU

Según NPR, los remanentes debilitados del huracán Polo provocaron lluvias intensas, inundaciones de carreteras y temores de rotura de presas en Nuevo México el 30 de septiembre, lo que obligó a evacuaciones y operaciones de rescate y extendió los efectos a Texas y Oklahoma. A principios de la semana, la tormenta se había intensificado hasta alcanzar la categoría 5 frente a la costa del Pacífico mexicano, lo que llevó al Centro Nacional de Huracanes a emitir alertas para la península de Baja California Sur.

El 22 de septiembre, Polo tocó tierra en la península con vientos cercanos a 110 mph, provocando cortes de energía y inundaciones locales antes de debilitarse mientras se dirigía hacia el suroeste de EE.  UU.
