Isn't it early for hurricane season? I was under the impression that the season didn't begin until late summer. Hope it goes out to sea before it hits Florida or anyone else! Keep us informed.

Yes, starts June 1st. I guess atmosphere is primed and ready. Its happened in the past in may but obviously out of the norm.

HEADS UP FLORIDA AND GA.

Air Force Reconnaissance aircraft in Tropical Storm Beryl indicated just moments ago that the storm is almost a Category 1 hurricane. With sustained winds of near 70mph and higher gusts, Beryl can easily become a hurricane before making landfall near Jacksonville, FL late tonight. This could be a life threatening situation and residents in northeastern FL , coastal GA, and coastal SC should rush to completion their storm preparations and evacuate if necessary.

Not sure about 2 in may but... In case your wondering about the strongest one in May....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Able_(1951)

Hurricane Able was the strongest recorded hurricane outside of the typical Atlantic hurricane season. The first tropical cyclone in 1951, Able developed from a trough of low pressure on May 15 about 300 miles (480 km) south of Bermuda. Initially subtropical in nature, Able acquired tropical characteristics as it moved over the warm waters of the Gulf Stream and attained hurricane status on May 17 off the coast of Florida
