Hurricane Season starts June/July, depending on who you ask, and ends in Oct/November --- that's approximately 5-6 months of every year, not to mention the occasional storm that appears late or early, as T/S Beryl is doing here.
Fortunately Beryl looks to be maxing out as a Tropical Storm when it makes landfall, but sub-hurricane 70 mph winds are just that, so I hope everyone watches this one closely and doesn't throw caution to the wind.
