Rachel's remnants bring wind and flooding after Baja landfall
Good Morning America's brief update follows the storm into Southern California and the Southwest, drawing an unusually large early audience.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 141,980 views a day, 39 times a normal first day on this channel (3,600).
Post-Tropical Storm Rachel moves through Southern California and into Southwest
Good Morning America's Rachel update has reached more than 100,000 views in its first 13 hours. That is far beyond the few thousand views one of the show's short reports usually draws over a full first day.
The report follows Rachel after its remnants made landfall Saturday night over Baja California. GMA describes strong winds and rain causing flash flooding, with the post-tropical system moving through Southern California and into the Southwest. The change in the storm's classification does not mean its effects have ended.
The weather bulletin stands out amid a varied day of uploads, including Will Ganss's wedding dance and the Savannah Bananas' first Banana Bowl championship. Across GMA's channel, daily views are also running at more than twice their usual pace.
