 I'm Brooke Thornton. Hurricane Burl, the first hurricane in what is expected to be a very busy season, is a Category 4 storm. LSU climatologist Barry Kime says Burl has already set a record for the earliest Category 4 storm to form in a season. Most hurricanes of this strength occur in August. So we're running six weeks ahead of schedule, and that does not bode well for the rest of the season.
