Because Igor is now a tropical storm.
Igor is not much of a storm yet, and is showing no clear pattern of increased intensification. However, Igor's current path will take the storm through a region where there will be very little to weaken it and a great deal of very warm water to strengthen it. There is a possibility that Igor will drift to the north, which would cause the storm to weaken. If not, there is a high potential of a large and powerful hurricane. Details.

Scene from "the Super":
Radio: "The new hurricane has been named "El Negro"
Thurgood: "Yes! They have finally named something after us black folks!"
Radio: "El Negro is estimated to become the most destructive hurricane of this century"
Thurgood: "DAMN!!!"
