1. Can you 'splain the map?

Cause I don't get it.

2. Shows How Warm the Water Is

With four storms lined up like planes landing. Warm currents are what hurricanes feed off of.

5. Oh, I see your point.

But Hanna's not heading in the same direction, is it? East Coast rather than Gulf? Has that changed?

6. No You're Right

I think the point of the map was to show how these monster storms can form, and how there's a line of them at the ready right now. They might not all hit in the same area, but they're all potentially deadly, and they're feeding off of warm-water currents that may have been aggravated by climate change.

7. Planes lined up is exactly how they look.

But as long as they're not flying to the same place...I dunno. This is one of those things I'm holding my breath on.

3. Gustav approaching warm water zone - Hannah inside one

Warm water increases Hurricane strength
