The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season is the first on record to produce nine tropical storms before August and 13 before the beginning of September.
Tropical Storm Marco, downgraded from a hurricane late Sunday, and Tropical Storm Laura are both bearing down on Louisiana. Favorable weather conditions for The Pelican State appear likely to keep a weakened Marco meandering along the coast line, but Laura – having this weekend wreaked havoc in the Caribbean – could make landfall as a Category 2 hurricane by mid-week before making a turn eastward for the Carolinas.
Houston-based Jetco Delivery went through hurricanes Ike and Harvey in recent years. Hurricane Harvey made landfall three times in August 2017, dumping annual average rainfall totals in less than a week on Houston and southeastern Texas.
