Six named storms including hurricanes Lorena and Jerry are swirling around the US after two were left dead and 1,700 more people needed to be rescued in the wake of Imelda.
The combined activity of Humberto, Jerry, Kiko, Loreno and Mario in both the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific basins are believed to tie the modern day record for storms that was set in 1992, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
‘Anyone want a tropical storm? They are forming like roaches out there,’ tweeted Eric Blake, one of the NHC forecasters. ‘It’s not something that you see all the time, but not unheard of, either,’ added Weather Channel meteorologist Danielle Banks.
They follow slow-churning storm Imelda that has dumped more than 40 inches of rain in some parts of Texas since Monday and the downpour may continue through Friday in parts of eastern Texas and western Louisiana.
