Hurricane Dolly tore up the Texas and Mexico border today, and secured a place in history as the season’s first hurricane in the Gulf. News reports have documented over 60,000 people are without power with many seeking safety and shelter. Even after Dolly leaves the area and the storm clears, the cloudy future meteorologists are predicting may make travel this hurricane season even more precarious. National Geographic News reveals that the formation of the currently Category 2 Hurricane Dolly is nothing unusual for July; however, Dolly wasn’t the only serious weather at the time. Meteorologist Jeff Masters was quoted as saying, “On July 19, Bertha, Cristobal, and Dolly were all active tropical weather systems. . . That’s the first time three named systems have been active on the same day since the practice of naming hurricanes began in 1950.” Using due diligence and checking weather reports for travel is a good idea for what may be one of the most active hurricane seasons the U.S. has ever seen.
