Yes, in a way. Numerous hurricanes have had their origins over this part of Africa is minor disturbances in the atmosphere the move west with the trade winds and emerge off the coast of Africa as a tropical wave. This wave then, under the right conditions, can strengthen into a depression, a tropical storm, and then a hurricane.
