VIDEO: Polo Becomes Category 5 Hurricane in Under 24 Hours

Hurricane Polo has rapidly intensified into an extremely dangerous Category 5 storm in the Pacific. The storm reached this peak intensity early Tuesday, less than 24 hours after it was first classified as a hurricane. Currently churning off the southwestern coast of Mexico, Hurricane Polo is forecast to gain even more intensity as it continues to skirt the coastline. Authorities describe the system as an extremely dangerous storm as it maintains its powerful Category 5 status.
