YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Tropical Storm Alberto is strengthening as the system neared the Gulf coast of Mexico, and is expected to dump heavy rain across the northeast of the country and into southern Texas.

The center of Alberto is expected to reach the coast of Mexico early Thursday, and maximum sustained winds have increased to near 50 miles (85 kilometers) per hour, according to the US National Hurricane Center. The system is the first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season this year.

The hurricane season runs from June through November, and can shut oil and gas production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, wreak havoc on agriculture and cause significant damage to homes and roads. There could be as many as 25 named storms this season, compared with an average of 14.
