Hurricane Jose is a tropical cyclone currently midway between Bermuda and the Bahamas. It is the tenth named storm, fifth hurricane, and third major hurricane of the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season. On August 31, a tropical wave left 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. 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 time in Atlantic history that two active hurricanes simultaneously had recorded wind speeds of at least 150 miles per hour (240 km/h).[1]
