Hurricane Beryl is strengthening more rapidly than NHC predictions. It is already a Cat 3 hurricane with wind speeds of 115 mph at 8:00 am EDT..
The Windward Islands (Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada) will feel its destructive force later tonight into tomorrow morning.
Max. winds are predicted at 130 mph in 24 hours; that number will very likely be updated upwards.

Hurricane Beryl continues to strengthen, now packing 85 mph winds.
Beryl has all the ingredients favorable for continued rapid intensification over the next 24 hours - low wind shear, deep layer moisture and over 28-29 C sea-surface temperatures. Some weakening is forecast after 48 hours due to westerly vertical
wind shear.

Behold the mighty eye of Beryl.
Surrounded by 150 mph winds 😬
"The well-defined, symmetric eye is surrounded by a ring of infrared cloud tops colder than -70 deg C. The central pressure of the hurricane was falling throughout the day while the Hurricane Hunters sampled the storm, with the last aircraft pass showing the central pressure had fallen to around 946 mb."

WaPo: This hurricane season could be among the worst in decades, NOAA warns
The NOAA outlook calls for 17 to 25 tropical storms, 8 to 13 hurricanes and 4 to 7 “major” hurricanes and is the most aggressive May prediction the agency has made.

"#Florida's #orange trees have suffered from #hurricane winds and a mounting epidemic of #disease this year.
This year’s dismal harvest probably will make already #expensive orange juice even more so. A gallon has climbed above $10."

DeSantis:
"Knock on wood."
Followed by:
"Thoughts and prayers" ??
"#Florida’s #insurance crisis: #DeSantis says ‘knock on wood’ during #hurricane season.
Insurers will return to Florida after hurricane season, DeSantis says"
"The governor said last year that #CitizensInsurance was unfortunately undercapitalized and that the company could go belly up if they actually had to weather a storm."

Here is an interview with the CEO of a #Louisiana #insurance company. Of their $ 445 M loss since Katrina, 90% is covered by re-insurance (but the re-insurance premiums have skyrocketed). And Louisiana has a cap on homeowners' #premiums.
As in Florida, there is the Louisiana Citizens Insurance (where the taxpayer bears the risk).
Basically they're all just praying for a quiet #hurricane season. Meanwhile the Gulf is like a hot tub.
Sounds precarious.
