For the second straight year, Americans living in coastal towns or possessing beachfront property along the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico will be breathing a sigh of relief following an extremely quiet hurricane season.

Tropical Storm Chantal roared south of Puerto Rico early Wednesday on a path that will see it pass over the Dominican Republic and Haiti, where authorities warned of possible landslides and heavy flooding.
