Cat. 3 Hurricane Rafael aims at Gulf Coast; may worsen across warm waters

Doug McIntyre discusses the threat posed by Hurricane Rafael, an already-fierce Category 3 storm expected to move into the Gulf of Mexico. Forecast models suggest a potential path towards New Orleans, raising concerns of severe damage, especially as Rafael could intensify further over warm Gulf waters. This storm follows a season of intense hurricanes that have already caused fatalities and billions in damage. If Rafael makes U.S. landfall, it will be the fourth significant hurricane to hit the Gulf Coast this year, underscoring the escalating severity of recent hurricane seasons.
