Re: . Here's what I think is the most important thing to remember:

For literally months, the scientific community has been saying, "Look out everyone, the sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic are really hot. Hurricane season could be intense."

Then the monstrous Beryl comes along, the strongest every July Atlantic storm.

Beryl has broken (at least?) two more incredible records in the past day: 1) On July 2, it became the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record in the Atlantic, beating the previous date by fifteen days (Emily on July 17, 2005) 2) With 165 mph peak winds, it became the strongest hurricane ever observed during July, beating the previous strongest by 5 mph (also Emily on July 17, 2005). It maintained that 165 mph intensity for six hours. The infrared satellite image at the top of this post is from its peak intensity.
