It is also the farthest east a tropical storm has formed in the month of July. Reliable records of Eastern Atlantic storms go back to 1967, the beginning of the geostationary satellite era.

This makes you think of 100's of years ago when they did not have this type of information and all those ships that went down. All those people. Back then no one knew where or when a ship went down or for that matter why it did. Only figured it out when the ship did not dock at a schedule place. |
