As Hurricane Michael returns to the Atlantic Ocean for some rejuvenation, let's not forget Hurricane Leslie, the longest-lasting hurricane I can remember, which has been churning away all by itself in the middle of the Atlantic for nearly three weeks now.
Leslie is finally sweeping eastwards. They've issued a tropical storm warning for Madeira Island, off the coast of Morocco. The National Hurricane Center reports:
"It is the first known tropical storm warning for that place, and there are no known tropical storms in the historical record anywhere within 100 miles of that island, with the closest being Vince of 2005."
Leslie is forecast to slam into the northwestern corner of Spain on Saturday, and finally dissipate over the western Mediterranean early next week.
