Hurricane Rafael's Unpredictable Path Intensifies in the Gulf

Hurricane Rafael, a Category 3 storm, made landfall in Cuba, causing significant power disruptions before weakening to a Category 2 as it moved into the Gulf of Mexico. It is one of only three Category 2+ hurricanes recorded in the Gulf in November. The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has seen above-average activity, with Rafael being the seventh storm to undergo rapid intensification. The storm is expected to weaken due to cooler waters and dry air, with uncertainty in its future track.
