	Hurricane Adrian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hurricane Adrian was a tropical cyclone that formed on May 17, 2005.
		Adrian strengthened from a tropical depression about 440 miles (710 km) southwest of Guatemala and El Salvador and began moving northeast, towards the Salvadorian capital of San Salvador.
		The local governments and citizens were mindful of the damages caused to the region by other hurricanes, namely the 9,000 deaths caused by Hurricane Mitch in 1998.

	2005 Pacific hurricane season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On September 18 it crossed meridian 140°W, becoming the first hurricane in over two years to be in the forecast area of the Central Pacific Hurricane Center.
		However, Kenneth gained enough strength to be reclassified as a Category 1 hurricane on September 24, and very late on September 25 it crossed 140°W, making it the second hurricane of the season to enter the Central Pacific.
		Early on September 30 it was upgraded to a hurricane, and it reached category 2 on October 1 before weakening again as it drifted very slowly northwards.
