Tropical Storm Cindy has formed behind Tropical Storm Bret in the first case of two storms in the tropical Atlantic in June since records began, forecasters said.
Attributing the rare phenomenon to abnormally high sea temperatures, weather experts say that Cindy, anticipated to maintain tropical storm status, will venture northeast into open waters.
However, Bret has wasted no time making its presence felt, unleashing powerful winds, heavy rainfall, and colossal swells of up to 15 feet upon the eastern Caribbean islands early Friday morning. In anticipation of potential landslides and flooding, the region hunkered down, bracing itself for the impact.
