Hurricane José ( eng. Hurricane Jose ) is a powerful tropical cyclone of the 4th hazard category , the longest storm of the Atlantic hurricane season of 2017. It was formed at the beginning of September 2017 when a strong tropical wave emerged from continental Africa. This is the third major hurricane of the Atlantic season of hurricanes in 2017 - the most active season in the history of observations. José threatened the Antilles , where he was supposed to pass a few days after the disastrous hurricane Irma . [1] However, on September 9, the hurricane changed its route, never reaching the Antilles. [2]
