Hurricane Polo leaves Baja California Sur unscathed and moves toward Sonora

Hurricane Polo left no casualties in its wake through Baja California Sur, where it made landfall early this Tuesday as a category 2 storm, and is now advancing toward the coasts of Sonora, in northwestern Mexico, according to authorities.

During the presidential press conference, the national coordinator of Civil Protection, Laura Velázquez, reported that the cyclone made impact around midnight near Las Barrancas, in the municipality of Comondú, with maximum sustained winds of 175 kilometers per hour and gusts of 205 kilometers per hour.

"There are no casualties (no victims) as of this moment," stated Velázquez, who noted that throughout the day, authorities will carry out surveys to assess the damage caused by the phenomenon.

The official added that Polo caused some road flooding, runoff, water accumulation, and fallen trees and branches, but assured that electricity and water services remain operational in Comondú, Mulegé, and Loreto, the three municipalities primarily threatened by the cyclone.

Furthermore, she explained that nearly 700 people remained in temporary shelters and will begin returning to their homes today, while 6,872 public servants from all three levels of government participated in prevention and response efforts during the hurricane's passage.

The governor of Baja California Sur, Víctor Castro, also confirmed that there were no fatalities and highlighted the population's response to the authorities' recommendations.

"The three municipalities threatened by the hurricane, which were Comondú, Loreto, and Mulegé, reported no casualties," the official stated, noting that authorities will assess material damage throughout this Tuesday.

"It has left us with rain, but no human loss, which is the most important thing. We will assess the material losses today," he added.

The situation contrasts with the effects Polo previously had in Jalisco, where four members of a family died after their home was swept away by a rising stream in the municipality of Talpa de Allende, according to state authorities.

After crossing Baja California Sur, Polo returned to the sea and at 06:30 local time (12:30 GMT) was in the Gulf of California, having weakened to a category 1 hurricane, 105 kilometers north-northwest of Loreto and 145 kilometers south-southwest of Guaymas, Sonora.

Velázquez noted that authorities expected another impact on the coasts of Sonora during the morning of this Tuesday, probably near Guaymas, where the state government had already carried out preventive actions.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Rachel continues off the Mexican Pacific coast and will cause torrential rains in Michoacán, intense rains in Guerrero and Oaxaca, and very strong rains in Colima and Jalisco.

Authorities warned that the rainfall associated with both systems could cause landslides, river and stream overflows, flooding, and inundations in low-lying areas.
