Hurricane Rafael, a rare November storm now at Category 2 with 110 mph winds, is intensifying as it approaches the U.S., posing a significant threat to areas from Texas to Florida. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) warns of potential flash floods, tornadoes, and severe weather disruptions, especially in the Florida Keys, where rainfall could reach three inches. With Rafael expected to make landfall in Cuba imminently, residents along the Gulf Coast are urged to prepare for possible evacuations and stay updated on advisories, as warm waters in the Gulf may continue to fuel the storm’s strength.
