Hurricanes Arthur & Hanna
2020. Arthur brushed the Carolinas early in the season; Hanna hit south Texas in July as the year's first hurricane — high wind and water on the roads while the storms were still overhead.
How Ryan was involved · from the record
Ryan pulled people and vehicles from ditches as the eyewall hit — working the storm during the storm, not after it.
