“URGENT MAJOR BREAKING NEWS ALERT: Very dangerous hurricane forming in the Pacific Ocean heading to Southern California. Forecasts call for Hurricane Polo to strengthen to a Category 5 hurricane with 160 mph winds by late Tuesday. Polo is a strengthening hurricane in the Pacific Ocean and is set to bring more humid and uncharacteristic weather straight toward Southern California.

Just weeks after Hurricane Marie battered the state with coastal flooding and high tides, Tropical Storm Polo intensified into Hurricane Polo Monday afternoon.

“POLO CONTINUES TO INTENSIFY AND IS EXPECTED TO BECOME A MAJOR HURRICANE ON TUESDAY,” the National Hurricane Center (NWC) said.

The hurricane could bring heavy rainfall that could set off major floods and landslides across the country. While Polo is expected to stay offshore, the moisture may trigger flood warnings in New Mexico beginning Tuesday.

Any effects coming from the hurricane will likely not reach Southern California until the end of this weekend, at the earliest, according to what a NWC meteorologist told the LA Times.

Polo is being classified as a Category 1 hurricane, but the hurricane center is forecasting the storm to be at Category 5 with 160 mph winds by late Tuesday.

The storm is currently located in the North Pacific Ocean off of the southwestern coast of Mexico.

This news comes as Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a state of emergency Monday in anticipation of winter storms and to combat what is already a historic El Niño season.

“The Governor’s action puts California in a stronger position before winter weather intensifies. It directs state agencies to begin protecting vulnerable communities, prepare roads and critical infrastructure, stage emergency supplies, and help local partners reduce flood, landslide and coastal risks,” the emergency notice reads.

Alongside Polo, two other tropical storms also currently forming in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans over the weekend. Tropical storms Fay and Odalys are being monitored but are expected to have less impact than Polo.

Hurricane Polo is already the 16th named storm to form in the Eastern Pacific this year.

It is recommended that southern California residents have an emergency plan in place with extra supplies, bottled water, medications, toliet paper, flashlight with batteries and other items. Have a plan in place if evacuations are ordered.”

I wish Trump’s speech at the UN would start. He’s holding up my day because I don’t want to watch on DVR. I just feel like it’s going to be earth-shattering.

Of course, I have thought that about other recent speeches.

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

“Very dangerous hurricane forming in the Pacific Ocean heading to Southern California. “


I grew up on the Northern Oregon Coast.

We NEVER had a hurricane.

We had:

Tropical storms

Equinoxial storms

Typhoon winds

I recall watching the wind speed from the anemometer on the roof — it pegged at 120 MPH then blew off of the roof. There was a lot of damage from that storm but it was NOT a hurricane.

There are ‘hurricanes’ in the Pacific NOW to keep climate hysteria active.

Please understand, bitt, that I’m not picking a bone with you, it’s just the news coverage.

I wish some hurricane would come up to Oregon.

I have friends in HI and they’ve had more hurricanes this year than in decades. When I lived there, maybe 3 at most, in around 14 years.
