OyaYansa Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Katia has formed in the southwest of the Gulf of Mexico and has put under alert to Veracruz. Jose is in open water in the Atlantic and could follow in the footsteps of Harvey. Tropical storms Jose and Katia have become Category 1 hurricane in the Atlantic basin today, and have joined the powerful hurricane Irma, according to the National Hurricane Center (CNH) in the United States. Jose is in open waters of the Atlantic Ocean and could follow the trail of Harvey on his way to the Caribbean, while Katia has formed in the southwest Gulf of Mexico. CNH experts predict that José, who has winds of 120 kilometers per hour, is heading west-northwest, heading for the Lesser Antilles, which has punished Hurricane Irma, category 5 in the last hours. Like Jose, Katia also has maximum sustained winds, with higher gusts, of 120 kilometers per hour, which has put in hurricane alert to the Mexican state of Veracruz, from Tuxpan to Laguna Verde. These two hurricanes add to the "potentially catastrophic" Irma, the strongest hurricane recorded so far in the Atlantic, which is approaching the northeastern coast of Puerto Rico after leaving the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean.
