Hurricanes

Currently of the coast of Africa is a weak tropical storm which as it travels across the equator will build power and end up as a strong tropical storm or hurricane. I am not sure how long this takes but as I will be in Miami next weekend this is one area which has had its fair share. In the guide book it tells me that if they give a hurricane warning not evacuate but does not suggest how or to where!! I also found out that particularly destructive hurricane "names" are retired and not used again so there will not be another Hurricane Katrina. These are the names for the hurricanes in the Atlantic this year.
