Hurricane Trudy Is Rapidly Intensifying — The Category 4 Threat Is Growing

Hurricane Trudy is rapidly intensifying off Mexico’s Pacific coast, and the Category 4 threat is growing. In this video, we break down how Trudy went from a 45 mph tropical storm to a major hurricane in just a few days. We look at the latest National Hurricane Center forecast, the track near Colima and Jalisco, and the flooding and mudslide risk from heavy rain on steep terrain. We also compare Trudy to Hurricane Otis, which exploded into a Category 5 and hit Acapulco in 2023. You’ll see why this record-breaking El Niño hurricane season is so active, and how a possible super typhoon near Guam fits in. You’ll also learn what rapid intensification means, how to read hurricane advisories, and the simple steps to stay safe if you live in or are traveling to the path of the storm.
