This popped up on my Beryl feed. Love this segment; the production, info, graphics, and how you both work seamlessly as a team and both of your voices. Top notch. Kudos to everyone inc the crew.

I moved to Florida in 1988 and the winter months a couple years ago was pretty cold but last winter
was the coldest winter overall I have ever gone threw here. So cold that it was killing off the pythons
in the everglades which was a good thing.

I’m in The Bahamas, the system behind Beryl is there a possibility that if it switches path it may affect The Bahamas?

Hey Rebecca, did they close the airports in Jamaica?

If you follow the blob anomaly, I’m sure you might have suspicions as to why that area of the water is so hot at this time.
