I love that this is an American jet but they still have a flag of Puerto Rico as if it's a separate country.
Nice bit of irony there.

TBF they also have Hawaii, Alaska, and Guam
At least they're consistent.
But I'd say they should probably all be independent too.
Hawaii maybe (but even then they currently benefit more than they suffer from being a state), but certainly not Alaska. They can't even sustain themselves without help from the federal government.

Why are two of the hurricanes backward???

Might genuinely indicate the circulation direction of the hurricanes. Due to the Coriolis effect, hurricanes on the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise and on the southern hemisphere clockwise.
So, maybe they only took part in one hurricane season in the South or something...
