Hurricane Jose forms in the Atlantic, east of powerful Hurricane Irma

MIAMI -- Hurricane Jose forms in the Atlantic, far from land and well east of the powerful Hurricane Irma.

There's no immediate threat to land from Jose, but meteorologists warned the storm's path could change, according to the National Hurricane Center. Jose had winds of 75 mph and was quickly strengthening.

Meanwhile, Hurricane Katia formed in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico, with sustained winds of 75 mph. The Mexican state of Veracruz is under a hurricane watch.

Jose was the 10th storm to be named in 2017 in the Atlantic. It comes on the heels of Hurricane Irma, the most powerful storm ever recorded in the Atlantic, and Harvey, which devastated the southeastern coast of Texas and parts of Louisiana with days of rain.

1. Isn't Katia in the same area Harvey formed? or further south?

Nevertheless, it's still bad... Eastern Mexico does not need that rain.
