Quote: Where is this thing? I poured over all of the South Atlantic imagery I could find last night, and I could not locate anything that had "the look". Also, when did Catarina get named? I remember it, but at the time, I thought they just referred to it as "the apparent first ever recorded South Atlantic Hurricane"
If I remember correctly, it is named Catarina due to the fact it hit the Brazillian state of "Catarina". Much like how the old cyclones were named. By where it struck and the year.
