Hurricane Pam was a simulation meant to predict the potential effects of a major hurricane on New Orleans, which is particularly vulnerable to flooding because parts of it are below sea level.
Hurricane Pam was not an actual hurricane, but a computer model of a hypothetical hurricane striking the New Orleans area. New Orleans has long been an area of concern in regard to hurricanes. Portions of the city are below sea level, kept try only by levees and a system of pumps. Many realized that a major hurricane to breach the levees, causing catastrophic flooding. The Hurricane Pam model was meant to simulate what would happen in that event. This scenario came to pass when Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005.
Actually, as of October 24, 2010 there is a hurricane going on right now. Hurricane Richard is currently approaching Belize. Before that was Hurricane Paula, which lasted From October 11, 2010 to October 15.
Hurricane Danielle is expected to become a major hurricane and is very close to becoming one, though she is not expected to make landfall as a major hurricane. Tropical Storm Earl is also expected to become a major hurricane, but again, may not make landfall as one. Beyond that there is no way of knowing.
