Question

Choose three of these hurricanes, one from each year 2004, 2005, and 2017, and answer the following questions for each of your selected storms using the following link: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2004/

1. Where did the hurricane originate and what regions along its path do you expect were significantly affected by hurricane-strength winds or the storm surge?

2. For each storm how accurate was the prediction of its path as shown as the white cone ahead of the known position of the storm?

A strong answer will describe the path of each hurricane and the regions that it impacted using latitude and longitude or general geographic terms (e.g., specific States), and discuss whether the prediction changed substantively during the hurricanes progress, noting when and where the prediction appeared more or less precise.
