The storm is the first to reach hurricane strength in this year’s Atlantic season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30. It brought harsh winds and rain to Corpus Christi and the surrounding area.
They tell us we can expect a rather robust hurricane season this year.
The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to be more active than usual, according to an outlook released Thursday by NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, a division of the National Weather Service.
The NOAA outlook calls for 13 to 19 named storms, six to 10 hurricanes and three to six major hurricanes – one that is Category 3 or higher (115-plus-mph winds) on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
This forecast is above the 30-year (1981-2010) average of 13 named storms, seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes.
NOAA's outlook is in agreement with that released in April by The Weather Company, an IBM Business, which calls for 18 named storms, nine hurricanes and four major hurricanes.

So -
- Wild fires that burned almost an entire continent to cinders
- Murder Hornets
- Killer hurricanes
Those were the 2nd tier stories so far this year.
Fuck you, 2020.
