Wind whipped Mexico's northern Pacific coast and water began to flood some streets Monday as Hurricane Polo bore down on Baja California Sur, threatening high winds, floods and mudslides. Meanwhile, Hurricane Nolo could still bring torrential rain to parts of Hawaii even as the storm edged away from the state.

In Puerto San Carlos, Mexico, a fishing town of about 5,700 people, high tides and pounding waves from Polo were already breaching sea barriers as residents worried for their homes in the mostly empty town. Hundreds of people in the region evacuated, hunkering down in nearby shelters in schools and other facilities.
