A summary look at Hurricane #Hermine and the storm's impact in the Southeast and the Mid Atlantic in early September. We'll retrace the storm's steps from the time it was known as Invest 99L. We speak with Florida State University meteorologist and local AMS Chapter President Matt Reagan on the life of Hermine. Additionally, as we approach the peak of Hurricane season, we are going to talk about how the tropics have faired so far, and what we can expect heading in to the heart of the tropical season.
