There have been loads of hurricanes / cyclones / typhoons that have occurred during the hurricane season (if it is late in the summer or early in the fall).
There were 3 recent hurricanes lately at the time. Here they are below:
1.) Hurricane Charley which took a direct hit at the American state of Florida.
2.) Hurricane Frances weeks ago with packing storms and hitting towards the Caribbean and the American state of Florida. We also got the rain from the hurricane too.
3.) The recent Hurricane Ivan which demolished Jamaica, heading towards Cuba now, and even impact western Florida as well! It could hit a few States on the west too!
What are we going to do? People have lost lives and items been lost through there! People had to flee from their homes to get shelter! So what are the hurricanes doing to these poor tortured people now?!
UPDATE: Ivan boomed Cuba and now it's heading for the States beyond the Gulf of Mexico!
ANOTHER UPDATE: Looks like a few states got hit hard from Ivan. Destroyed homes, and power being lost. Hopefully, those states will be restored.
Remember, they are other storms that are heading south from the Gulf, so be aware of that. Jeanne is coming.
Good luck to these people living in the regions. Get out and have safety there.
Recently, weather reporters predicted that something over the coastal line in the southeastern United States reported as a Hurricane, but it's actually a Tropical Storm, which is good.
And it looks like we've reported two recent hurricanes. Hurricane Denise which was a Category 3, then 2, then slowly died down into a Tropical Storm, but still reported and got things damaged. And Hurricane Emily which is a major category 4, is severely damaging Jamaica bad, and heading West towards Mexico.
A week ago, Hurricane Emily demolished parts of Mexico, including one south of Cancun. Destroyed some things and all. It has lowered to a Category 3, but it's still dangerous. The storm might regenerate and make its way up higher to the Gulf of Mexico and nearly the border of southern coastline of Texas.
Yep, Hurricane Emily did it again near the United States / Mexico border, although a 133 KM but died into a tropical, but it did pack lots of winds and rain triggering flooding and mudslides along the way. Pretty much damage some parts of it, but no deaths or injuries have been reported so that's pretty good news there.
And look at this! There's a Sixth Tropical Storm along the way. It named it Franklin and it has formed over the Bahamas. It just formed after Emily made a big hit on Mexico two times in a row.

MIAMI (Reuters) - The busy Atlantic hurricane season notched its sixth tropical storm on Thursday when Franklin formed in the northern Bahamas islands.
The U.S.
National Hurricane Center in Miami said the birth of Franklin marked the earliest appearance by the sixth storm of the season in recorded history. The previous earliest date for six storms was Aug. 4, 1933.
Forecasters said Franklin could drop up to 5 inches (13 cm) of rain on Eleuthera, Great Abaco and other islands in the northwestern Bahamas.
The storm formed just a day after powerful Hurricane Emily roared ashore on Mexico's northeast coast.
At 11 p.m. EDT on Thursday (0300 GMT on Friday), the center of Franklin was about 100 miles northeast of Nassau, the Bahamian capital and was moving to the northwest at 13 mph (21 kph), the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
Sustained winds were about 45 mph (72 kph) and forecasters said the storm could strengthen in the next day.
Forecasters said they expected Franklin to move north through the Atlantic for a few days and then to loop back toward the Florida coast early next week.
NASA hopes to launch the space shuttle Discovery from Cape Canaveral, on the state's east-central coast, on Tuesday.
The tropical weather systems that become hurricanes are called tropical storms and given names when sustained winds reach 39 mph (63 kph). They become hurricanes at 74 mph (119 kph).
So overall, what are your views on these devastating hurricanes during the hurricane season in North America and abroad?
