Vermont resident for 42 years and I’ve never noticed a hurricane behave this way. Sure, every decade or two we’ll get one that’ll ride up the east coast and cause problems for New England…
But for one to strike the gulf coast, ride all the way up (over land!) to the northeast and still drop 4-6” of rain, is something I can’t wrap my head around.
I’m used to storms hitting the south and then breaking up rather quickly over land. What was so different about Beryl?
I’m just curious, this is the 2nd 100-year flood we’ve had in back-to-back years, right down to the day… it’s crazy…

Global warning? Heat is energy. The warmer the oceans, the more energy they have and more moisture they carry. Weather patterns become more extreme, they last longer and reach further. High and low pressure areas get stuck in one configuration for weeks (like polar vortex 2021) instead of being blown apart as it happened in the past.
