From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hurricane Lee was a highly erratic and somewhat long-lasting tropical cyclone that traversed the Atlantic in September 2017. The thirteenth named storm, seventh consecutive hurricane and the fifth major hurricane of the hyperactive 2017 Atlantic hurricane season, Lee originated from a tropical wave that exited the west coast of Africa on September 13. Contrary to predictions of slow development, the disturbance quickly organized into a tropical depression by September 15.
