Hurricanes thrive when the Atlantic is warm and the air above it is tranquil. El Nino stirs things up. CBS News New York's Vanessa Murdock reports.
Officials from the National Weather Service and the CDC are already warning Americans about record-high temperatures in the coming months thanks to seasonal changes in the La Niña climate pattern.
