Tropical Storm Kate has strengthened near the central Bahamas. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft investigating the system found that maximum sustained winds had increased to 45 mph as of late Monday morning. Kate has maintained this intensity as of early Monday afternoon.
Kate is not a direct threat to the United States, but will continue to impact the Bahamas with gusty winds and locally heavy rain through early Tuesday morning.

Highlights:
Tropical Storm Kate was centered 30 miles east-southeast of Eleuthera in the Bahamas as of early Monday afternoon. A tropical storm warning remains in effect for the central and northwestern Bahamas. Heavy rain, flash flooding and gusty winds are concerns in the Bahamas through early this week. Tropical Storm Kate is not expected to make landfall in the U.S. The latest forecast calls for Kate to become a strong tropical storm before eventually being absorbed by a non-tropical low pressure system midweek as it moves out to sea. Kate is the eleventh named storm of the 2015 Atlantic hurricane season. Kate originally formed as Tropical Depression Twelve Sunday night, and was upgraded to tropical storm status Monday morning.

No hurricane has crossed the US shoreline for over ten years now. But that won't stop Oboma from his Paris climate treaty hysteria.
I suggest you Google Ike, Gustav, Irene and Arthur for starters.
El neener and the Atlantic have a connection, somehow, we may expect more hurricane activity, believe it or not. I seen that somewhere on the internet. :-)
We’ve actually had unusually calm hurricane seasons since 2005. If the past decade is global warming, it is actually resulting in FEWER storms than more.
OMG, we're all gonna DIE!
The most extraordinary November hurricane was “Wrong-Way Lennyâ€, which hit the northern Leeward Islands as a strong Category 4 hurricane with 155 mph winds on November 17-18, 1999. Lenny was the first storm to have an extended west-to-east track across the central and eastern Caribbean Sea in the 135-year Atlantic tropical cyclone record, and was the strongest November hurricane on record. Hurricane Gordon was the deadliest November hurricane. It claimed 1122 lives in Haiti when it passed just west of the country as a tropical storm on November 13, 1994. Lenny claimed six lives in Costa Rica, five in the Dominican Republic, two in Jamaica, two in Cuba, and eight in Florida. Property damage to the United States was estimated at $400 million (1994 dollars), and was severe in Haiti and Cuba as well.
Three November hurricanes have hit the U.S.–an unnamed 1916 Category 1 hurricane that hit the Florida Keys, an unnamed 1925 Category 1 hurricane that struck Sarasota, Florida, and Hurricane Kate, which struck the Florida Panhandle on November 22, 1985.
