What causes Hurricane Linda
In short: Hurricane Linda formed from a tropical wave that moved off the coast of Africa before intensifying in the eastern Pacific.
1. The origins of Hurricane Linda are believed to have been in a tropical wave that moved off the coast of Africa on August 24. 2. Forming from a tropical wave on September 9, 1997, Linda steadily intensified and reached hurricane status within 36 hours. 3. While near peak intensity, Hurricane Linda passed near Socorro Island, where it damaged meteorological instruments. 4.
