Tropical Storm Humberto, tracking across the Atlantic, has intensified into a Category 4 hurricane as of September 26, 2025. With sustained winds reaching up to 130 mph, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) warns of catastrophic damage potential.
While Humberto is forecasted to remain offshore without making landfall, its immense strength is producing life-threatening rip currents along the East Coast of the U.S. and the Bahamas. Coastal communities from Florida to the mid-Atlantic are urged to stay informed and prepared.
The NHC highlights that well-built homes could sustain severe damage, trees will likely be uprooted, and power outages may last weeks due to downed lines.
Additionally, the rare Fujiwhara effect alerts meteorologists, as a nearby tropical storm known as “Potential Tropical Cyclone 9” could interact with Humberto, influencing storm paths and intensities.
