HURRICANE JOSE : News

********NEWS: ***********

Hurricane Jose is a tropical cyclone currently midway between Bermuda and the mid East Coast of the United States. It is the tenth named storm, fifth hurricane, and third major hurricane of the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season. On August 31, a tropical waveleft the west coast of Africa and developed into a tropical storm six days later. A period of rapid intensification ensued on September 6, when Jose reached hurricane intensity. On September 8, it reached its peak intensity as a Category 4 hurricane.

Initially projected to impact the Antilles already affected by Hurricane Irma, Jose brought tropical storm force winds to a catastrophically damaged and evacuated Barbuda before changing path. This was the first and so far only time in Atlantic history that two active hurricanes simultaneously had recorded wind speeds of at least 150 miles per hour (240 km/h).[1] On September 14, Jose was downgraded to a tropical storm. A day later, Jose was upgraded to a hurricane, which it currently is, after a plane from the 53d Weather Reconnaissance Squadron of the U.S. Air Force flew into it and determined that its wind speed was 65 knots, above the minimum required for it to be a hurricane. However since September 14 it has not reached major hurricane status.
