Well, that didn't take long.
The official start of hurricane season in Atlantic Ocean only began on June 1st and it only took three days to set a new record with three storms powerful enough to get a name having already formed. To put things into context, it usually takes until August 13 for the third Atlantic storm large enough for a name to form.
Weather forecasters and climatologists have warned that 2020 will be a busy hurricane season and they certainly seem to be right so far. A busy hurricane season is defined as 6-10 hurricanes with 3-6 of those becoming a Category 3 hurricane or higher.
As if that weren't worrying enough, this hurricane season will be competing, for lack of a better word, with the ongoing health crisis that has strained the health services of numerous cities and states. So a major hurricane making a direct hit on one or more American cities has the potential to push some health systems to their breaking point.
To be clear, there is no guarantee that a major hurricane will hit American shores this year, but this early record certainly gives me a reason to be concerned.
