This is true. It happened back in 2004 when both Hurricane Frances and Hurricane Jeanne made landfall in the same place (the county I live in) exactly 3 weeks apart. I was a server at a popular sports bar at the time. The first month or two after the storms was the busiest we had ever been. Many people were without power for weeks. I was without power for over 2 weeks with Frances. We had only had it back on for a day or two when Jeanne came through and we lost it again. When folks were finally allowed to travel from county to county again all the restaurants were packed. Then something happened... The next season was dead and the one after that. Apparently many of our seasonal residents had sold their homes down here with no plans to return. The hospitality business in Florida took a huge hit for several years. It took a while for it to pick back up again.

MILTON
A couple of days before it hit, friend of mine in the NW called + asked: Don't hurricanes usually start near Haiti (ie in the Caribbean)-- ?

Great question-- seems strange to me, too.
Milton appears to have started in the Gulf, off the coast of Mexico.

STATEMENT from NBC
Milton is the strongest Gulf of Mexico hurricane since Hurricane Rita in 2005.

But look at Rita's path.

RITA

SAME ARTICLE NBC
U.S. Hurricanes... typically follow a similar path:
Tropical storms spin off of Africa’s west coast, traverse the Atlantic and grow in strength as they enter warm waters in the Caribbean Sea.

But part of Milton’s origin story lies in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The hurricane formed when the remnants of a tropical depression in the Pacific barreled east across the Yucatán Peninsula and met a stalled front in the Gulf of Mexico.

* QUACK *​

The most recent storm that struck Florida after having formed in the same area — Mexico’s Bay of Campeche — did so in 1867.

I marvel at the technology of 1867!
How in hellfire do they have this information?
They don't.

While weather data was scarce during this time, pressure data from ships confirmed the approximate locations of tropical storms and hurricanes.

Four Before 1888 (maybe) -.-


Thoughts?

I noticed this as well. The big storms that form late in the season usually form off the coast of Africa and traverse the Atlantic. I find it very unusual we've been getting these cat 4 and 5s forming in the Gulf. It's even late for the storms to form in the Caribbean. Usually by October the Gulf and the Caribbean stop producing and the train of larger hurricanes starts from Africa. Not sure about the cause. Maybe it's cloud seeding? The media will say it's <<rolling eyes>> climate change. Whatever the reason, these storms seem to be forming in the Gulf more frequently and strengthening at an incredible rate. Strange.

I just looked at the 7 day tropical outlook map and this is the usual path for a hurricane to take this time of year. I pray this one turns north and becomes a storm for the fishes!
