“It took Beryl only 42 hours to strengthen from a tropical depression to a major hurricane, which is a Category 3 storm or higher — a feat accomplished only six other times in Atlantic hurricane history, and with Sept. 1 as the earliest date.”
I’m from Puerto Rico and this is the first time I can recall a named storm so early in the season. The peak of hurricane activity (and the strongest storms) is usually around September…this year will be very, very bad.
