Hurricane Polo Remnants Reach Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles

The system entered the U.S. on Tuesday, prompting emergency services in New Mexico to order evacuations as flooding hit the state. Earlier, Polo reached Category 5 strength and struck the Baja California peninsula and mainland Mexico near Guaymas, where it ripped off roofs and felled trees, though officials reported no injuries. The National Hurricane Center stated the storm would lose its hurricane status upon entering the mainland.
