Hurricane Polo Hits Rare Category 5 Off Mexico

Hurricane Polo rapidly intensified off Mexico's coast to a rare category 5 storm, with sustained winds near 180 mph, NOAA said. The slow-moving storm is expected to skirt southwestern Mexico without landfall, but forecasters warn of torrential rain, deadly flooding, mudslides and life-threatening surf. President Claudia Sheinbaum urged Pacific coast residents to stay vigilant.
