Tropical Depression 8 Forms Tropical Storm Hannah in Leeward Islands

"Tropical Depression 8" is set to become Tropical Storm Hannah as it forms off of the coast of the northern Leeward Islands on Thursday.

Originally entitled "Tropical Depression 8", Hannah had top sustained winds near 40 mph Thursday, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Hannah, the eighth tropical storm of the Atlantic season, could produce rainfall of 1 to 4 inches across parts of the Leeward Islands.

Hannah has joined Tropical Storm Gustav as both terrorize the Caribbean Islands. However, in just a short time, Hannah is already the size of Gustav. Both are expected to become hurricanes soon.

Tropical Storm Gustav has already killed 23 people and is expected to become a Category 3 hurricane, which was the level that Hurricane Katrina was when it hit New Orleans in 2005. The storm might affect the Republican National Convention, which begins in Sept. 1.

The next tropical storm in the Atlantic will be named Ike, according to the 2008 Hurricane Names list. Fortunately, that storm has not formed yet.
