“We need to be ready,” Barbadian Prime Minister Mia Mottley said in a public address late Friday. “You and I know when these things happen, it is better to plan for the worst and pray for the best.” “The development of a tropical storm this far east in the tropical Atlantic is uncommon, though not unprecedented,” wrote Michael Lowry, a Florida-based hurricane expert, in a forecast. “Only five named storms on record have formed in the tropical Atlantic east of the Caribbean.”Mark Spence, manager of a hostel in Barbados, said in a phone interview that he was calm about the approaching storm.
An average Atlantic hurricane season produces 14 named storms, seven of them hurricanes and three major hurricanes.
