On a Friday evening in early June, a broad and fast-moving storm system descended upon the eastern and southern United States, placing Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Louisiana simultaneously under threat. Nature rarely confines its disruptions to convenient boundaries, and this weather event reminded residents from the mid-Atlantic to the Gulf Coast that the sky does not negotiate. Meteorologists watched closely as the system advanced, knowing that the hours of darkness ahead would test both the preparedness of communities and the limits of emergency response.
