Reply To: Why is hashem punishing the Caribbean islands?

King D, the fact is that this hurricane season isn’t really so unusual. To respond in order;
1. Hurricane season runs from August 1 through October 30 every year. Atlantic cyclonic storms (hurricanes) that occur at other times of year are what is unusual.
2. while it somewhat unusual for two Cat 5 storms to make landfall on North America in the same year, the number of named storms this year is about average. the last eleven years have been fairly slow years hurricane wise due to extreme drought in North Africa. Dust blowing east from Africa had a tendency to attenuate storms that form annually in the vicinity of the Cape Verde islands. The breaking of the drought resulted in less hurricane weakening dust.
