For 2024, forecasters predicted an above-average Atlantic hurricane season, typically starting on June 1 and ending on Nov. 30.
As of Oct. 11, there have been 13 named storms, including four tropical storms and nine hurricanes, of which four have been major hurricanes (Beryl, Helen, Kirk, and Milton).
Hurricane Milton grew from a tropical storm on Oct. 6 to a Category 5 storm 24 hours later, becoming the fifth-strongest Atlantic hurricane. Milton reached rare wind speeds of 180 mph, almost never-seen barometric pressure lows and has an incredibly small eye, known as a ‘pinhole’. Milton made landfall in Florida near Siesta Key on Oct. 9.

Ordinarily I wouldn’t write about a resolution introduced by a freshman member of Congress. But most freshmen don’t have 2.8 million Twitter followers, and most freshmen don’t have their first resolution covered by CNN, NBC, NPR, the Washington Post, Fox, USA Today, and virtually every other hard-news outlet in the country.
