 It has been suggested that tropical activity could outpace even the record flurry of storms that occurred back in 2005, perhaps starting earlier and persisting even longer.

Cyclones are intensifying about three times faster than they did decades ago as they approached the coast. I'm Ken Chester. This has been a Tech Mobility Minute.
