There's so many storms sprouting off the coast of Africa right now, it might be useful to have a thread to give people a heads up about them as they emerge.

Right now, we have Hurricanes Gustav and Hanna, and Tropical Storm Ike. There are some other areas of activity that could develop into named storms in the next few days.
