First Named Tropical Storm Forms in Atlantic Ahead of Hurricane Season

A satellite image shows Tropical Storm Arthur off the coasts of Florida, Georgia and the Carolina's on Sunday.

Hurricane season in the Atlantic is quickly approaching and one Tropical Storm has already started forming off the southeast U.S coast and is headed towards North Carolina. The National Hurricane Center already issued a tropical-storm warning for a portion of the North Carolina coast. The models show that the storm has strong winds and heavy rains which should start affecting the area soon. 

North Carolina has started their reopening phase like many states in the U.S have already after weeks of corona virus related lock down measures. Many of their beaches have already opened up as well. The hurricane center has forecast dangerous coastal surf conditions and rip currents from northward Florida to the mid Atlantic in the next couple of days. 

Because of the corona virus, getting hit with a tropical storm in the most vulnerable the country has been in a while would be disastrous. Many of the coastal states should start preparing as much as possible because you never know when things might just get worse. I believe companies could certainly use this hurricane season to their advantage with different marketing tactics to customers as the corona virus pandemic already has the world on alert.
