Imelda Strengthens as US Southeast Braces for Storm Impact
Tropical Storm Imelda is strengthening near the Bahamas but is turning eastward, sparing the US coast from a direct hit, though dangerous surf and rip currents persist. Meanwhile, Bermuda faces a rare double threat from Hurricanes Humberto and Imelda, with Humberto now a Category 2 storm and Imelda potentially making landfall, bringing heavy rain and winds. The US has avoided a direct hurricane landfall this season, but the storms have reached major strength early in the season, highlighting increased rapid intensification due to climate change.
