Hurricane Genevieve’s Wild Pacific Surge | Seattle News

Hurricane Genevieve just exploded onto the scene as a Category Five monster, packing 160 mph winds—making it the strongest July storm in the Pacific in over two decades. Though it’s now downgraded to Category Four, it’s still a force to be reckoned with, sending massive waves toward the West Coast and Hawaii. What’s even more jaw-dropping? It intensified from a weak Category One to a hurricane in just 30 hours—thanks to scorching ocean waters and clear skies. While it’s steering clear of land, El Niño is fueling this storm and could spark more activity this season, potentially stretching the hurricane season into fall and pushing storms farther north toward California.
