Okay, I'll take a stab at it.
The Hurricane Gods have been sadly neglected in recent years. Their worship is down tremendously, while the worship of Toyota, Lexus, Elon Musk, and Orange Hair is off the charts.
So they've decided to get even. Sources tell me that the many disparate Hurricane Gods (keep in mind that there are separate ones for wind strength, lifespan of the storm, as well as different local regional HGs in the Caribbean, the South Atlantic, Gulf Coast (five different regions there) and so on) have gotten together and are co-ordinating their efforts to make sure that we have truly memorable Hurricanes this year. Oh, and the double-strike Hurricane God (who is affectionately known as LeRoy) has recently come out of hibernation to work his magic with Harvey. I've been told that he's thoroughly awake and may try to arrange the same at least once more this season.
The ultimate goal of the Hurricane Gods is to be worshipped, or at least feared a whole lot more. It looks as if they might be successful for now.
I hope that helps.
