Hurricane Gilbert was a classic tropical wave that began near the Cape Verde Island off the west coast of Africa in 1988. It was the first Category 5 storm to reach the Atlantic coast since 1969.
Like many hurricanes, Hurricane Wilma started out as an area of low pressure over the Caribbean. This low intereacted with an area of showers and thunderstorms, and became more concentrated and more organized. This system eventually became organized enough to be listed as Tropical Depression Twenty-Four on October 15, 2005. Fueled by the moisture from the warm water of the Carribbean, the depression slowly strengthened, becoming Tropical Storm Wilma on October 17. After this, the storm became more organized and intensified very rapidly, soon becoming a category 5 hurricane.
Currently ranked as the fifth-costliest hurricane in the United States' history, Irene began as a well-defined Atlantic tropical wave. She began to organize just east of the Lesser Antilles island arc. On August 20, 2011, when she developed a bit of atmospheric convection and a closed center of circulation, she was officially designated (named) Tropical Storm Irene. Making landfall at St. Croix, then Puerto Rico, she strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane. Parallelling the coast of Hispaniola, she slowly intensified. Just before making four landfalls through the Bahamas, she peaked as a 120 mph (195 km/h) Category 3 hurricane.
