What I find odd about these recent hurricanes is that they form so late. I remember years back they would form in the middle of the atlantic.

They still do...but the atlantic area is still a bit cool for development...

Early season storms develop in the Gulf/Carribean because they warm up much faster...Later in the season you will see them developing further out as the tropical atlantic surface temps rise.

I bet you love Cuba living in the Keys. Don't they slow down a lot of the hurricanes before they hit you?

Who names these hurricanes?

They should be given more interesting names.

Rename Hurricane Dennis to Hurricane REAL ULTIMATE POWER (caps included).

American forecasters began naming hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean in 1953 (grabbing the idea from the U.S. military) after realizing calling a storm "Betsy" was easier in communicating than "that big storm at 32.3 degrees North and 74 degrees West".

The rest of the world eventually caught on, and naming rights now go by the World Meteorological Organization, which uses different sets of names depending on the part of the world the storm is in. Around the U.S., only women's names were used until 1979, when it was decided that there should be boy hurricanes too.

There's 6 different name lists that alternate each year. And if a hurricane does significant damage, its name is retired and replaced with another. As to who decides what name makes the list -- that is still a mystery.

The track will be wet. Bet on a horse with a name like Surefoot or Sloppy Joe that might be better in muddy conditions!
