Hurricane Rafael, a rare November storm, has recently been upgraded to a Category 2 with sustained winds of 110 mph. This makes it a significant threat, particularly for regions from Texas to the Florida Panhandle. The storm is expected to impact western Cuba soon, with landfall anticipated in hours.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has issued warnings for areas along Rafael’s path, including the Florida Keys. Up to three inches of rain and an increased tornado risk are expected. Flash flooding in low-lying areas is a concern, and the storm could intensify over the Gulf of Mexico. Authorities urge residents to stay updated on advisories.
