Extra-Tropical Storm Alex

Usually, this isn't the part of the year where a cyclone forms in the Atlantic Basin. 

However, this one did. It is called Alex.


It is way out there, closer to Africa than the Americas and isn't forecast to be much stronger as it scoots off to the north in the next few days. 

Any cyclonic storm is dangerous. It's bad weather, it's winds, torrential rain, storm surge and worse. I am quite sure shipping is aware and stays away. A relevant lesson from Hurricane Joachim.
