The Gulf Stream

“Why does the US Southeast receive so many hurricanes?”
The US Southeast always seems to get inundated with hurricanes. But what causes this? Well, starting from the Gulf of Mexico, there is a warm ocean current that moves around Florida and towards the Southeastern part of Virginia. This current, labelled as The Gulf Stream, makes the water warmer for hurricane formation. The Gulf Stream has effects that go far beyond the continental U.S.
