In recognition of the advancing hurricanes, I would like to remind everyone of the abundant information available at USGS.gov, the United States Geological Survey, and NOAA.gov, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and their many tools for collecting data and keeping watch.

Each significant hurricane has a web page, or go to The National Hurricane Center.  Go directly to the NHC link to see the updated version of the chart below, and the addition of hurricane Joyce (9/14/18). Florence , below, is a recent example.

These first four links are supplied by Geosciences Librarian at Princeton University, Emily Wild, formerly of USGS.

There are 9 major areas in which NOAA is involved: weather, climate, oceans & coasts, fisheries, satellites, research, marine & aviation, charting, and sanctuaries.
