Well Charley formed there and Ivan strengthened while moving through it...

It's usually either a graveyard or it's VERY favorable for rapid strengthening.

You are correct 28 and this isn't a climatology favored area but if it stays far enough from the SA coast and the Greater Antille it has a chance to buck the trend as we seem to be doing already this season. Happy Hunting

No. It is sorta the southwestern Caribbean just north of colombia/venezuela.

Eastern Caribbean is the archipelago of islands and we WISHED this was the cyclone graveyard ... instead, they turn us into graveyards.

Usually if the cyclone has a developed circulation prior to crossing the island than it will be OK......MGC

She means the island chain(Grenada/Barbados/Trinidad etc.).

Storms that usually fall apart cross those islands with barely a closed circulation or nothing at all(just a wave).
