While residents of South Florida to prepare for the hurricane to a maximum category Irma, the national hurricane center reports about a new threat. Over the Gulf of Mexico was formed tropical storm Katia, which is moving at a speed of 65 km per hour to the South-East USA.
On Tuesday morning it became known about the formation of tropical storm Jose to the South-East of the lesser Antilles. As reported by NHC, there are all prerequisites that Jose will grow into a hurricane. His preliminary path will pass North of the leeward Islands at the end of this week or over the weekend, less than a week after the most powerful hurricane Irma will strike the area. This can prevent recovery from the previous disaster.
