Usually those "tropical storms" crossing the ocean at low "altitudes" gain power before reaching the eastern coast of their ocean.
When traveling NORTH though, they travel above water that's colder, and they don't gain as much power.
In "our region" a TROPICAL STORM can hit us, but I think a real HURRICANE is very rare.
I may be totally wrong, too comfy to worry etc.
I know that, when I was still a child, such a tropical storm passed at a few hundred meters from our house. Three villages further west it took away a church (or was it the tower of the church, either way: only half a church was left behind)
But then, only ONCE, in over 40 years can be called 'pretty rare' |
