HURRICANE SEASON

Each year the season returns to the Atlantic. Many of its largest storms begin as tropical waves off the coast of West Africa and cross the ocean toward the Caribbean — arriving in the same weeks as Carnival. One season of uncertainty, one of celebration, both shaping how communities across the diaspora prepare, remember, create and gather.
