100th Episode
Historic Hurricane Beryl broke many Atlantic basin hurricane records, becoming the earliest cat-4, then the earliest cat-5 hurricane to form in the Atlantic Hurricane Season. Beryl was also the only cat-4 hurricane to form in June, and the furthest east a hurricane has formed in June.
This 100th episode features interviews with Dr. Brian McNoldy, Senior Research Associate at the University of Miami, and Dr. Phil Klotzbach, Senior Research Scientist at Colorado State University. These experts provide historical context for this record-breaking storm before we share on-the-ground interviews with storm survivors in Texas.
