When we say climate change is having an effect this is it, it was a tropical storm and wasn’t even expected to be a bad cat1 hurricane. Now it’s expected to be a cat2 by landfall... warming of ocean waters gives hurricanes strength and we have seen some doozies this year...Vote

Be safe everyone in it's path.

Terrible especially with the Virus epidemic!🙏🏼
