Hurricane Michael

This hurricane ramped up really quickly from a mere tropical wave in the Caribbean. This is what we fear most: not a storm off of Africa where we have two weeks advance notice, but a rapid intensification of a storm in the Gulf of Mexico.

For each of the last two years, a hurricane of immense destruction has hit the U.S. In 2017, Hurricane Harvey scraped much of Rockport, Texas clean, and then dumped 45 inches of rain on Houston. This year, Mexico Beach, Florida got the same treatment. 

Who's next?
