There's an entire set of hurricanes called Cape Verde hurricanes, because they start at or near Cape Verde islands. Although most usually don't get to full-strength until later, many develop quickly enough to affect daily life in Cape Verde:

On average there are two Cape Verde type hurricanes each season.
In August & September 1979 there were two back-to-back major Cape Verde hurricanes: Hurricane David (Category 5) and Hurricane Frederic (Category 4). Both caused extensive damage.
