From September 20 onwards, several beaches and seaside locations were closed off to visitors because of Hurricane Polo, the second-most intense Pacific hurricane on record.
Days before it made landfall on the Baja California peninsula and mainland Mexico on September 29, a North Carolina tourist named Nuri Abdhullah blatantly broke the rule in Hawaii.
Ignoring several warning signs, Nuri walked to a beach in Waiʻānapanapa State Park in Hana, Maui, and filmed herself frolicking in the sand and sea.
