Hurricanes usually start as tropical depressions over the Africa coastline. Drawing moist Atlantic Ocean moisture. Then travel westward still drawing Atlantic moisture upward into the atmosphere gaining strength until it becomes a hurricane. Does the atmosphere and the stormy weather it creates contain salt water moisture? If so if the remnants of a hurricane should track in the Ohio Valley. Could the rain that falls in Ohio contain salt particles from the Atlantic Ocean?

Interesting question, my first thought would be that most if not all the water from the storm will have first evaporated before becoming part of the storm. Of course salt doesn't evaporate at the same temp as water so I don't think there would be.

I just found this artcle which talks more about it: WGN Weather Center Blog: From Salt Water to Fresh Water: Hurricane Formation (http://blogs.trb.com/news/weather/weblog/wgnweather/2005/10/from_salt_water_to_fresh_water.html)

Hi Blake! I couldn't open the site that you recommended, just get a red x where the data is supposed to be... hmmmm?

The salt water is left in the ocean and a small amount from the tops of high waves in blown into coastal areas.
