Hurricane Polo makes landfall in Mexico

Hurricane Polo made landfall in Baja California Sur, Mexico, bringing "damaging winds and life-threatening flash flooding," and is expected hit the Southwest U.S. with heavy rain and flooding.

What the coverage shows

All three outlets frame the story as a twin-hurricane threat spanning Hawaii and Mexico’s Baja California, and all mention Nolo moving away from Hawaii while Polo bears down on Mexico. The Guardian US is the only one to add that heavy rain, flash flooding and strong winds persist in areas of Hawaii still recovering, while NPR uniquely foregrounds Baja California by naming storm surge alongside high winds and heavy rains. The Independent stays closest to the broad disaster framing in its headline.
