Tropical Storm Isabel
For those who follow the storms that develop in the Atlantic Basin and can threaten the Caribbean, this is another one. We are right now in the peak season of hurricanes for this area. Keep in mind that, for instance, Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic was last hit by a hurricane in September 1998, and before that in August 1979.

Regardless, here is the recent Accuweather update on Tropical Storm Isabel:
"The other feature in the Atlantic Basin today is a strong tropical wave located west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. The wave was centered along 33 west and south of 20 north with a 1,008 millibar low along the axis near 14 north. The system could become the next tropical system by the end of the weekend."
