Hurricane Helene developed and strengthened quickly in the Gulf of Mexico, thanks to record hot water temperatures in the Gulf. By the time it hit land in Florida, it was a Category 4 storm. It caused at least 40 deaths and massive flooding across several states.
Helene was the eighth Category 4 or 5 storm to hit the U.S. (including Puerto Rico) in eight years. That equals the number of major storms that hit the U.S. in the previous 57 years!
It’s a striking statistic that shows just how much global warming is hitting ordinary people.
