Due to Franklin, the National Hurricane Center warned of “significant and potentially life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides,” especially over central Hispaniola.
Meteorologists are tracking Tropical Storm Franklin, which made landfall Wednesday on the island of Hispaniola and is causing potentially devastating flooding and mudslides in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The landfall came a day after Harold, another tropical storm, brought winds, flooding and at least one tornado to Texas. The systems are part of a sudden surge in tropical activity as this year’s hurricane season rears its ugly head.
Mid-September marks the historical peak of hurricane season, but things don’t usually ramp up markedly until mid-to-late-August. Roughly 85 percent of major hurricanes — those that reach Category 3 strength or higher — occur after Aug. 20.
