Hurricane Polo makes landfall in Mexico, could bring flooding to Southwest U.S.

HONESTLY I CANNOT DEAL WITH THIS ONE BECAUSE OVER FOURTEEN MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS ELEVEN STATES ARE UNDER FLOOD WATCHES RIGHT NOW AND THE WEATHER SERVICE SAYS A MASSIVE MOISTURE PLUME IS HEADING STRAIGHT INTO THE FOUR CORNERS AND CENTRAL PLAINS, WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE IT ALL STARTED WHEN HURRICANE POLO SLAMMED INTO BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR WITH ONE HUNDRED TEN MILE AN HOUR WINDS AS A CATEGORY TWO, AND THE THING IS IT DROPPED TO EIGHTY MILE AN HOUR WINDS AS A CATEGORY ONE BUT IS STILL PROJECTED TO MAKE A SECOND LANDFALL IN SONORA, WHICH MEANS UP TO SIX INCHES OF RAIN COULD DRENCH ARIZONA TO IOWA, SO NOW MEXICO HAS DEPLOYED TROOPS AND OPENED SHELTERS WHILE CITIES FROM PHOENIX TO DALLAS ARE BRACING FOR FLASH FLOODS.

NO BUT ACTUALLY THOUGH FOURTEEN MILLION PEOPLE IS AN INSANE NUMBER TO SUDDENLY BE UNDER A FLOOD THREAT ACROSS ELEVEN STATES AND THE WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER IS LITERALLY BEGGING DRIVERS NOT TO GO THROUGH FLOODWATERS, WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE HURRICANE POLO HIT BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR PACKING ONE HUNDRED TEN MILE PER HOUR WINDS BEFORE WEAKENING DOWN TO EIGHTY MILES AN HOUR, AND THE THING IS IT IS STILL A HURRICANE HEADING STRAIGHT ACROSS THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA TO MAKE A SECOND LANDFALL IN MAINLAND SONORA TODAY, SO NOW UP TO A FOOT OF RAIN IS DUMPING ON BAJA WHERE OFFICIALS DEPLOYED THE MILITARY AND SUSPENDED SCHOOLS DOWN IN ACAPULCO, WHICH MEANS CITIES ALL THE WAY FROM PHOENIX AND ALBUQUERQUE TO DALLAS AND OMAHA COULD GET HIT WITH THREE TO SIX INCHES OF RAIN OVER THE NEXT THREE DAYS.

Hurricane Polo made landfall in Mexico and is forecast to trigger widespread flash flooding across northern Mexico and the southwest and central United States, putting 14 million Americans at risk.
