Hurricanes are most likely to happen over tropical ocean waters. They are Atlantic storms and generally form in warm waters north of the equator. Many form near the Cape Verde Islands of the west coast of Africa, but can form in any warm water with the correct atmospheric conditions. Once formed, they can travel thousands of miles
