I barely remember Hermione but can’t recall any of her movies.

I also remember Hurricane Alice which hit Panama City when we lived there in 1953. My Mother told me that it just miraculously died as it hit Panama City.

Surprised it got even near Panama City. Other things being equal, there simply isn't enough rotational force available for a hurricane in Panama, at only 9 degrees N. latitude.

Rainstorms/thunderstorms, yes, lots of 'em. Hurricanes? Certainly not since I've been here. Going on a couple of decades, now.
