🌀Hurricane Isaias rapidly intensified into a Category 3 storm Friday, fueled by exceptionally warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico. Landfall is forecast along the Gulf Coast between Alabama and Florida later today, October 9.

🚨Human-caused climate change made the record-warm waters fueling Isaias up to 600 times more likely. The waters where it formed were up to 800 times more likely. These exceptionally warm waters can significantly boost a storm’s potential strength. ➡️ www.climatecentral.org/climate-shif...
