Besides the 'near shore' turbuence of the Gulf of Mexico, there are three tropical waves in the Atlantic. They are large tropical systems, the one nearest to North American is immediately east of Grand Turk and the Bahamas. The second system is directly east of the Lesser Antilles and the third is west of Liberia ,off the African coast.
The 'severe' storms have been occurring in recent years during this 'late summer' season, but, have not yet occurred past Labor Day. However, the hurricane season with minor turbulence has extended into January of the following year, which in this case would be 2010.
It's Human Induced Global Warming. Strange things happen.
