A house in North Carolina collapsed into the Atlantic Ocean after a huge swell from Hurricane Ernesto. The hurricane was downgraded to a tropical storm but is forecast to become a hurricane again as it heads toward Canada's Newfoundland in the Atlantic.
The Gulf of Mexico is blazing hot, but hurricane season — temporarily, at least — has hit a lull, a surprise to researchers who see plenty of ingredients brewing in the Atlantic but no storms on the radar. The National Hurricane Center on Friday was not expecting tropical cyclone activity for at least a week. “There’s nothing coming up.
That’s not what’s holding the season back,” Klotzbach said. Hurricane season begins June 1 and ends Nov. 30. Hurricane scientists predicted a record hurricane season this year, and it got off to a record-setting start when Hurricane Beryl became the first Category 4 storm to form in the Atlantic Ocean in June. Then slow-moving Hurricane Debby dumped incredible rainfall on some Southeastern states in early August. But it’s been relatively quiet since.
