One storm, off the coast of Honduras, has a 70 percent chance of becoming a hurricane within the next 48 hours, according to the National Hurricane Center.

As oil continues to flow from the exploded Deepwater Horizon oil rig, a hurricane now can force escaped oil into wetland habitats and populated areas causing huge problems for wildlife and humans.
