Two Named Tropical Storms Before Atlantic Hurricane Season Even Begins

Yesterday, just after being named as the second tropical storm before the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season even begins on June 1, Bertha slammed into South Carolina dumping lots of rain and then progressed into the heart of the eastern United States...this morning the remnants passed through the Cleveland, Ohio area.  So now in just a short span we've had Arthur and Bertha...and it's still May!  The meteorologists specializing in hurricane season forecasting have predicted a very active season this year...no El Niño effect that would normally restrain tropical development...with as many as 20 named storms and 10 hurricanes.  Now exactly where the storms will go is a good question...with they mostly run out their "lives" in the Atlantic ocean or will some or many of them hit land?  We'll have to see.  Usually when June 1 rolls around each year we still have a respite from threatening tropical storms for a few weeks...I have a creeping suspicion, though, that this might be a year for the record books...
