Record Pacific hurricane could take aim at Florida

Saturday, 31 May, 2022 0

Hurricane Agatha made history as the strongest to make landfall in May during the Pacific hurricane season.

Although weakening, its remnants could regroup and form into a tropical storm in the Atlantic, with Florida in its sights.

The National Hurricane Center says it could reform in the Atlantic within the next five days and develop hurricane strength intensity.

If so, it could reach the Sunshine State at the end of this week.

If it reforms in the Atlantic, it will be called Hurricane Alex.

It would become the first named storm of the 2022 Atlantic Hurricane season.

Hurricane Agatha lashed beach towns on Mexico’s Pacific coast on Monday as a Category 2 storm causing flooding.

It hit Oaxaca with sustained winds of 105 mph near the beach town of Puerto Angel.

“Although weakening, life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides from heavy rains are still possible through Tuesday,” the National Hurricane Center said.

The new Hurricane Alex could form in the Gulf of Mexico to Cuba, South Florida and the Florida Keys by later this week
