These revisions can lead to a revised ACE total either upward or downward compared to the operational value. As the hurricane turned east-northeastward the following day, its cloud pattern became much more symmetric and an eye became evident, yielding peak winds of 85 mph (140 km/h). [14], The Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1, 2014. https://simcityhurricanes.fandom.com/wiki/Tropical_Storm_Wilfred_(2010)?oldid=7323. [5] A few months later, on March 24, 2014, Weather Services International (WSI), a subsidiary company of The Weather Channel, released their first outlook, calling for 11 named storms, 5 hurricanes, and 2 major hurricanes. The post-tropical low continued westward prior to dissipating the next day. The storm’s maximum sustained winds Friday morning were near 40 mph (65 kph). [6] Three days later, CSU issued their first outlook for the year, predicting activity below the 1981–2010 average. [3], On December 13, 2013, Tropical Storm Risk (TSR), a public consortium consisting of experts on insurance, risk management, and seasonal climate forecasting at University College London, issued their first outlook on seasonal hurricane activity during the 2014 season. MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Wilfred has formed in the eastern Atlantic, using the last of the traditional names for tropical systems in a record setting Atlantic hurricane season. Steered westward, a small area of low pressure developed in association with the wave two days later. A major hurricane is a storm that ranks as Category 3 or higher on the, Timeline of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, "2014 Hurricane Season Outlook: Another Quiet Season Possible for Atlantic", "Background Information: The North Atlantic Hurricane Season", "Atlantic hurricane best track (HURDAT version 2)", "Extended Range Forecast for Atlantic Hurricane Activity in 2014", "April Forecast Update for Atlantic Hurricane Activity in 2014", "Extended Range Forecast of Atlantic Seasonal Hurricane Activity and Landfall Strike Probability for 2014", "Expect Relatively Quiet Hurricane Season, NC State Researchers Say", North Atlantic Tropical Storm Seasonal Forecast 2014, NOAA predicts near-normal or below-normal 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, "FSU COAPS Atlantic Hurricane Season Forecast", "Forecast of Atlantic Seasonal Hurricane Activity and Strike Probability for 2014", "August Forecast Update for Atlantic Hurricane Activity in 2014", "NOAA's updated Atlantic hurricane season outlook calls for an increased chance", Atlantic basin Comparison of Original and Revised HURDAT, "Snowy End to Hurricane Season That Many Never Noticed", "The 2014 Atlantic Hurricane Season Ends With Below-Average Activity", "Arthur makes landfall as a Category 2 Hurricane", "Arthur hits NC with 100 mph winds, earliest strike in NC history", Tropical Cyclone Report: Hurricane Gonzalo, "Arthur power outage may have contributed to Woodstock death", North Carolina Event Report: Tropical Storm, Massachusetts Event Reports: July 3–4, 2014, "Updated: Province to help pay for damage caused by post-tropical storm Arthur", "Arthur en Haute-Gaspésie : Marsoui, Mont-Louis et les autres", Tropical Cyclone Report: Hurricane Bertha, "Yachtsman killed after getting caught in strong winds in The Solent", Tropical Cyclone Report: Hurricane Cristobal, "Bahamas - Tropical Cyclone CRISTOBAL (ECHO Daily Flash 22 August)", "Cristóbal se fortalece en el Caribe; se convertiría en huracán", "Swimming restrictions in place in Ocean City as Cristobal stirs up seas, drowning Va. teen", "Deja Dolly 1 muerto, 3 comunidades aisladas y daños en Tampico Alto", "Estiman en 80 millones daños en red carretera", "Estiman en 7 mdp daños en El Mante por "Dolly, "Hurricane Gonzalo strengthens, threatens Bermuda", Tropical Cyclone Report: Hurricane Arthur, "Weather History for Freeport, Bahamas: June 30, 2014", "Weather History for Freeport, Bahamas: July 1, 2014", "Hurricane Arthur Tropical Cyclone Update", "Post Tropical Cyclone Report for Hurricane Arthur", "Hurricane Arthur Makes East Coast Landfall, 44,000 Without Power", "Hurricane Arthur heads north, out to sea after hitting North Carolina", "Hurricane Arthur Causes Flooding On Cape Cod, South Coast", Intermediate Tropical Cyclone Information Statement for Post-Tropical Cyclone Arthur, "Storm Arthur damage 'as bad as Hurricane Juan, "Storm Arthur's cost for NB Power estimated at $23M", Tropical Cyclone Report: Tropical Depression Two, "Parts of Scotland affected by ex-hurricane Bertha", "Hurricane Bertha: Mini TORNADO rips through Hull as resident is injured by shattered swirling glass", "August 2014 Storm Data and Unusual Weather Phenomena", "One missing, 4,000 displaced by storm in Dominican Republic", "Cristobal Strengthens Into A Hurricane, Kills Four People In Haiti And Dominican Republic", "Hurricane Cristobal Kills 5 in the Caribbean, Moves North", Tropical Cyclone Report: Tropical Storm Dolly, "Vessels run aground, take refuge from Dolly", Tropical Cyclone Report: Hurricane Edouard, "Beachgoers warned of high risk of rip currents", "Hurricane may bring good waves to Volusia, Flagler", "Strong Rip Currents Kill Two Men in Ocean City", "BWS: Hurricane Edouard Is "Potential Threat, "Research drones launched into Hurricane Edouard", "Major Hurricane Gonzalo Targets Bermuda After Killing 1 in St. Maarten, Injuring 12 Others in Antigua", "Tropical Storm Gonzalo Discussion Number 5", "Antigua residents clean up after Gonzalo brings heavy flooding, high winds", "Gonzalo exacts a heavy toll on boats, boat owners", "Hurricane Gonzalo Tropical Cyclone Update", "Belco restoration: 13,022 without power at 9pm", "Roads blocked and serious damage Island-wide", "Gonzalo Brushes Newfoundland; Ana Drenching Hawaii", "Hurricane Gonzalo douses Newfoundland, moves offshore", "Wales weather: Hurricane Gonzalo brings winds of 70mph as it hits country", Tropical Cyclone Report: Tropical Storm Hanna, "Nicaragua decreta alerta amarilla por tormenta tropical Hanna", 2014 Atlantic Hurricane Season Annual Summary, Tropical Cyclone Formation Probability Guidance Product, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2014_Atlantic_hurricane_season&oldid=1020195440, Articles which contain graphical timelines, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––, This page was last edited on 27 April 2021, at 18:49. We could see twice as many named storms as usual this year. [49], The precursor of Cristobal and the storm itself dropped heavy precipitation on Puerto Rico, with 13.21 in (336 mm) of rain observed in the municipality of Tibes, bring drought relief to the island. Therefore, a storm with a longer duration or stronger intensity, such as Gonzalo, will have high values of ACE. [43][44][45] After becoming an extratropical system, it had significant effects in Western Europe, with the United Kingdom being particularly hard hit. The following list of names was used for named storms that formed in the North Atlantic in 2014. A budding system over the central Atlantic strengthened into Tropical Storm Wilfred late this past week, which is the last regularly scheduled name on the list for 2020. The newly formed cyclone turned northward following formation, directed toward a break in a subtropical ridge. Convection steadily increased and organized, leading to the formation of a tropical depression by 12:00 UTC on July 21. [46] One fatality took place offshore after a man suffered a fatal head injury on his yacht amid rough seas. Amid a generally favorable environment, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Arthur at 12:00 UTC that same day and further to a Category 1 hurricane by 00:00 UTC on July 3. Wilfred was a very short lived tropical storm that affected the western coast of Virginia. Following the development of deep convection the system regenerated into a tropical depression around 00:00 UTC on October 27 roughly 80 mi (130 km) east of the Nicaragua–Honduras border. Wilfred caused minimal damage, but flooding and mudslides were the most common impacts with Wilfred. A powerful Atlantic hurricane, Gonzalo had destructive impacts in the Lesser Antilles and Bermuda, and it was also the first Category 4 hurricane since Ophelia in 2011 and the strongest in the basin since Igor in 2010. [12] TSR issued another forecast on July 5, indicated that there would be nine to fifteen named storms, four to eight hurricanes, and one to three major hurricanes, citing conditions similar to those forecast by CSU. It is only calculated for full advisories on specific tropical and subtropical systems reaching or exceeding wind speeds of 39 mph (63 km/h). Johns. [81] Upon reaching the United Kingdom on October 21, heavy rain and strong winds, with gusts reaching 70 mph (110 km/h) in Wales, downed trees and disrupted transportation. The distribution of hurricane and tropical storm force winds in this tropical cyclone can be seen in the Wind History graphic linked above. Unseasonably heavy rains triggered widespread flooding which shut down roads and prompted evacuations. [3][5] Broadly speaking, ACE is a measure of the power of a tropical or subtropical storm multiplied by the length of time it existed. Rolf originated from an extratropical system near western France on 4 November. With two hurricanes striking Bermuda, this was the first season featuring more than one hurricane landfall on the island. According to NOAA and CSU, the average Atlantic hurricane season between 1981 and 2010 contained roughly 12 tropical storms, six hurricanes, three major hurricanes, and an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) index of 66–103 units. This was the same list used in the 2008 season with the exceptions of Gonzalo, Isaias, and Paulette, which replaced Gustav, Ike, and Paloma, respectively. Twenty-three rapidly developed and became Tropical Storm Wilfred during the same day on November 16. Severe Tropical Storm Chedza was a deadly tropical cyclone that struck Madagascar in January 2015. In October, three storms developed, including hurricane Fay and Gonzalo and Tropical Storm Hanna. [32] As the storm passed offshore New England, sustained winds of 47 mph (63 km/h) and gusts up to 63 mph (101 km/h) were observed. Tropical Storm Rolf, also known as Tropical Storm 01M, was an unusual Mediterranean tropical storm that brought flooding to Italy, France, Spain, and Switzerland in November 2011. [71] Cleanup efforts overlapped with preparations for the approach of the stronger Hurricane Gonzalo. Wilfred was a very short lived tropical storm that affected the western coast of Virginia. There were concerns that debris from Fay could become airborne during Gonzalo and exacerbate future destruction. After curving northwest and emerging into the southwestern Atlantic, Gonzalo continued its period of rapid intensification, becoming a major hurricane by 18:00 UTC on October 14 and a Category 4 hurricane six hours later. The heavy rain was only the major problem with already saturated ground that was further inland. Following landfall, the mountainous terrain of eastern Mexico quickly caused the cyclone to degenerate into a remnant low at 12:00 UTC on September 3. [80] Approximately 100 households lost power, while heavy rain caused localized urban flooding in St. [21] After transitioning into an extratropical cyclone, Gonzalo delivered strong winds to Newfoundland, with gusts peaking at 66 mph (106 km/h) at Cape Pine. The hurricane underwent an eyewall replacement cycle the next day, but ultimately attained peak winds of 145 mph (230 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 940 mbar (28 inHg) by 12:00 UTC on October 16. The basis for such included slightly stronger than normal trade winds and slightly warmer than normal sea surface temperatures across the Caribbean Sea and tropical North Atlantic. Wilfred formed from a weak disturbance that formed a few hundred miles off the … Wilfred gained a peak intensity of 40 mph and minimum pressure of 1002 mbar. [51] In Dominican Republic, large amounts of rainfall left several communities isolated, flooded at least 800 homes,[52] and killed two people. Early on July 3, the system intensified into a hurricane, preceding the climatological average of August 10. Although every named storm impacted land, overall effects were minimal. All the 2020 hurricane season names are gone with Tropical Storm Wilfred forming in the Atlantic, so a Gulf storm would take a Greek alphabet name. Since Wilfred was a minimal tropical storm, non-preparation did not affect any damage totals throughout the country. During its trek across the eastern Caribbean Sea, its circulation became severely disrupted and it may have degenerated into a tropical wave. The 2014 Atlantic hurricane season was a below-average hurricane season in terms of named storms, and an average season in terms of both hurricanes and major hurricanes. [64] Waves in the area were forecast to reach 3 to 4 ft (0.91 to 1.22 m). [31] Widespread rainfall totals of 6–8 in (150–200 mm) led to the inundation of numerous buildings in Manteo. [7], On May 16, the United Kingdom Met Office (UKMO) issued a forecast of a slightly below-average season. [62], A tropical wave accompanied by a broad area of low pressure exited the western coast of Africa on September 6, acquiring sufficient organization to be declared a tropical depression by 12:00 UTC on September 11. The forecast team noted that conditions for tropical cyclogenesis appeared "detrimental", with abnormally cold sea surface temperatures, higher than average sea-level pressures, and strong vertical wind shear. After crossing Georgia and South Carolina, it became absorbed by a weak frontal boundary that drifted south-southeastward. In the Lesser Antilles, widespread power outages occurred along its path but no major damage or loss of life took place. In addition, an ACE index of 60 units was forecast. [20] Public schools were closed in advance of the storm. It was the first Category 4 hurricane since Hurricane Ophelia in 2011. [22] The Atlantic hurricane season officially ended on November 30, 2014. [85] Hanna and its remnants contributed to an ongoing flood in Nicaragua that was responsible for 28 fatalities, many cattle deaths, and a significant loss of grain.[86]. Wilfred dissipated during the evening of November 17. The 2014 Atlantic hurricane season was a below-average hurricane season in terms of named storms, and an average season in terms of both hurricanes and major hurricanes. During the same day, Wilfred moved further inland and dissipated, ending the season. Wilfred's duration was between November 16 and November 17. The hardest hit area was Cabo Rojo where 210 homes were affected, 80 of which sustained damage. Tropical storm warnings were issued all along the coasts that were expected to be affected by the storm. The probability of a major hurricane making landfall on the United States or tracking through the Caribbean Sea was expected to be lower than average. Simcity Hurricanes Wiki is a FANDOM Games Community. [49] Thousands of people were evacuated from their homes. Eight of the nine designated cyclones attained tropical storm status, the fewest since the 1997 Atlantic hurricane season. It fell below hurricane intensity on October 12 and degenerated into an open trough by 06:00 UTC on October 13. Wilfred formed from a weak disturbance that formed a few hundred miles off the coast. [18] Arthur also became the earliest known hurricane to strike the North Carolina coastline on record, doing so on July 4. It produced nine tropical cyclones, eight named storms, the fewest since the 1997 Atlantic hurricane season, six hurricanes and two major hurricanes. With a well-defined eye surrounded by intense eyewall convection, Edouard further strengthened into a major hurricane early on September 16, attaining peak winds of 120 mph (195 km/h) at 12:00 UTC, the first major hurricane in the Atlantic since Hurricane Sandy in 2012. [36] Hurricane-force gusts were observed in Nova Scotia, with tropical storm-force winds observed as far away as Quebec. This was only one of three known years where the North Atlantic was more active than the West Pacific, the others being 2005 and 2010. [43], As a tropical cyclone, Bertha's impact was relatively minor. [15] NOAA typically categorizes a season as either above-average, average, or below-average based on the cumulative ACE Index, but the number of tropical storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes within a hurricane season are considered occasionally as well. Originally, Wilfred was expected to remain Tropical Depression Twenty-three as it moved inland, so preparation wasn't advised. Wilfred's duration was between November 16 and November 17. [16] Of the eight tropical storms, six reached at least Category 1 hurricane intensity. The post-tropical low maintained hurricane-force winds while accelerating across the North Atlantic, finally merging with a second extratropical low north of Iceland by September 2. Hurricane Edouard caused two deaths near the coast of Maryland due to strong rip currents. [9] NOAA released their pre-season forecasts on May 22 and called for a 70% chance that there would be between 8 and 13 named storms, 3 to 6 hurricanes, and 1 to 2 major hurricanes. [19] In October, Fay became the first hurricane to make landfall on Bermuda since Emily in 1987. Fay continued to strengthen in spite of excessively strong wind shear as it accelerated north-northeast, becoming a hurricane as it approached Bermuda the next morning. Eta then swiftly developed an inner core and an open eye. Twelve hours later, it intensified into Tropical Storm Gonzalo. Wilfred, the final named storm of the 2010 season, began to inch closer and closer to the Virginia coast. Arthur made landfall between Cape Lookout and Cape Hatteras as a Category 2 hurricane, becoming the first U.S. landfalling cyclone of that intensity since Hurricane Ike in 2008. Tropical Storm Wilfred has formed in the mid-Atlantic Friday morning. Unlike the manned aircraft, the drones were able to fly to the lower-levels of hurricanes and investigate the more dangerous areas near the surface. [65] On September 17, two men drowned off the coast of Ocean City, Maryland, due to strong rip currents. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but were still related to that storm. Although located in an unfavorable environment, Cristobal steadily intensified and was upgraded to a Category 1 hurricane at 00:00 UTC on August 26 despite a partially exposed circulation and disorganized cloud pattern. Tropical Storm Wilfred broke a record as soon as it formed. Rip currents affected Maryland and New Jersey, resulting in one fatality in each state. [67], On September 16, several unmanned drones designed by NOAA were launched by Hurricane Hunter aircraft while investigating Edouard. The cyclone abruptly weakened thereafter as it curved northeastward in advance of an upper-level trough, falling below hurricane intensity by 00:00 UTC on September 19 and degenerating into a remnant low eighteen hours later. [69], A low-level disturbance was designated as Subtropical Storm Fay at 06:00 UTC on October 10 while located about 615 mi (990 km) south Bermuda. The tropical wave began to move to the east and began to quickly organize and soon became Tropical Depression Twenty-Three on November 16 just 50 miles off the coast of Virginia. [82] The system later contributed to torrential rains over the Balkans, which resulted in severe flooding in Greece and Bulgaria. By Justine Calma @justcalma Sep 18, 2020, 10:54am EDT The S-HIS provided measurements of temperature and relative humidity while the CPL was for studying aerosols and the structure of cloud layers within hurricanes. [77] At the height of the storm about 86% of electricity customers on the island lost power. [34] Overall, Arthur caused at least $28.6 million in damage. The lack of activity was attributed to an atmospheric circulation that favored dry, sinking air over the Atlantic Ocean and strong wind shear over the Caribbean Sea. A sustained wind of 39 mph (63 km/h) and a gust to 46 mph (74 km/h) were recently reported at Ocean City, Maryland. The name Gonzalo was the only new name used for the first time this year. Gonzalo weakened below major hurricane intensity by 00:00 UTC on October 18 and made landfall on Bermuda with winds of 110 mph (175 km/h) six hours later. [30] At its height, Arthur knocked out power to 44,000 people in North Carolina, triggering Duke Energy to deploy over 500 personnel to restore electricity. Following landfall, Arthur accelerated northeast across the western Atlantic while encountering an increasingly unfavorable environment, weakening to a tropical storm at 06:00 UTC on July 5 and transitioning into an extratropical cyclone six hours later. The cyclone continued north-northeast, transitioning into an extratropical cyclone by 18:00 UTC on October 19 while located roughly 460 mi (740 km) northeast of Cape Race, Newfoundland. [2], In advance of, and during, each hurricane season, several forecasts of hurricane activity are issued by national meteorological services, scientific agencies, and noted hurricane experts. This marked the first time that drones were used in such a manner by NOAA. The post-tropical low eventually dissipated east of Labrador late on July 9. [58] Total losses to the road network in Tamaulipas reached 80 million pesos (US$6 million),[59] while structural damage amounted to 7 million pesos (US$500,000). Continuing westward in response to a low- to mid-level ridge that extended from the subtropical Atlantic southwestward to Cuba and The Bahamas, Eta slowly organized throughout the day as a central dense overcast (CDO) began to form atop its low-level center. [79] On Bermuda alone, the storm left at least $200 million in damage. Wilfred gained a peak intensity of 40 mph and minimum pressure of 1002 mbar. Most major forecasting agencies predicted below-average activity to occur this season due to an expected strong El Niño; but the predictions failed to materialize, though unfavorable conditions still became established across the basin. The depression failed to intensify into a tropical storm amid an exceptionally dry and stable environment and instead degenerated into a trough by 18:00 UTC on July 23 while located east of the Lesser Antilles. Tropical Storm Beta was a tropical cyclone that brought heavy rainfall, flooding, and severe weather to the Southeastern United States in September 2020. Their report called for a near-normal year, with 14 (±4) tropical storms, 6 (±3) hurricanes, 3 (±2) intense hurricanes, and a cumulative ACE index of 106 (±58) units. [25] The final tropical cyclone of the season was Hanna, which dissipated on October 28. CSU increased its prediction on July 31 to ten named storms, four hurricanes, and one major hurricane, which was unchanged from its forecast on May 23. With an asymmetric cloud pattern, the hurricane reached peak winds of 80 mph (140 km/h) and made landfall on the island at 08:10 UTC on October 12. Citing a likely El Niño of at least moderate intensity and cooler-than-average tropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures, the organization predicted nine named storms, three hurricanes, one major hurricane, and an ACE index of 55 units. The forecasts include weekly and monthly changes in significant factors that help determine the number of tropical storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes within a particular year. This is a table of all the storms that have formed during the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season. Wilfred is moving west-northwestward at about 15 kt. The 2014 season extended the period without major hurricane landfalls in the United States to nine years, with the last such system being Hurricane Wilma in 2005. It is expected to be a short-lived storm as it travels west-northwest behind … Wilfred was the twenty first and last named storm of the 2010 Biolixi Ocean hurricane season. Arthur caused one indirect fatality and $16.8 million (2014 USD)[nb 2] in damage after striking North Carolina and becoming the first Category 2 hurricane to make landfall in the United States since 2008's Hurricane Ike, and its remnants moving across Atlantic Canada. Hurricane Gonzalo was the most intense hurricane of the season. These include forecasters from the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s National Hurricane and Climate Prediction Center, Tropical Storm Risk, the United Kingdom's Met Office, and Philip J. Klotzbach, William M. Gray and their associates at Colorado State University (CSU). Later the same day, Twenty-Three became Tropical Storm Wilfred with 45 mph winds. Twelve hours later, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Edouard. [57], Heavy rains from the storm triggered flooding that temporarily isolated three communities in Tampico. There were no names retired this year; thus, the same list was used again in the 2020 season. On November 14, a cold front spawned a tropical wave a few hundred miles off the coast of Virginia. [53] In the Turks and Caicos Islands, the storm produced over 10 in (250 mm) of precipitation on various islands. Hostile conditions from a nearby frontal boundary ultimately caused the system to degrade into a trough and become entangled within the front. Severe Tropical Storm Washi, known in the Philippines as Tropical Storm Sendong, was a late-season tropical cyclone that caused catastrophic damage in the Philippines in late 2011. Since Wilfred was named in the middle of November, it was thought that this year would top over the lists, which would have to cycle to the back-up list; which is the names of the months. [78] Multiple buildings suffered roof damage, and downed trees and power lines prevented travel across the island. [2], On April 7, TSR issued their second extended-range forecast for the season, lowering the predicted numbers to 12 (±4) named storms, 5 (±3) hurricanes, 2 (±2) major hurricanes, and an ACE index of 75 (±57) units. Wilfred caused under a million simoleons, making the total minimal and no deaths were reported with the system either. ASCAT scatterometer data shortly thereafter resulted in the depression being upgraded to Tropical Storm Hanna at 06:00 UTC. Maximum sustained … Despite being the climatological peak of hurricane season, only two additional systems originated in September - Tropical Storm Dolly and Hurricane Edouard. The terminal building at L.F. Wade International Airport was severely flooded after the storm compromised its roof and sprinkler system. A reconnaissance aircraft flight measured a central pressure of 1000 mbar (hPa; 29.53 inHg) upon its formation, the lowest in relation to the depression. [17] A few notable events occurred during the season. It also predicted an ACE index of 84 with a 70% chance that the index would be in the range 47 to 121. Late that afternoon, the effects of a second eyewall replacement cycle, cooler waters, and increased shear caused the storm to begin a steady weakening trend as it accelerated north-northeast ahead of an approaching trough. [37][38][39][40][41], A tropical wave emerged off the western coast of Africa on July 17. The storm is forecast to continue this motion for the next several days, owing to steering from the low- to middle-level subtropical ridge. [87] This is the only Atlantic season of the 2010s to not have any name retired. Winds gusting over 80 mph (130 km/h) clogged roadways with downed trees and power poles, and left a majority of the island's electricity customers without power. One fatality was attributed to the storm. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 310 miles (500 km) mainly to the southeast of the center. On August 3, it traversed the Mona Passage and moved over the Southeastern Bahamas where conditions favored development. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave, or a low, and all the damage figures are in 2014 USD. It caused three fatalities in the Lesser Antilles and at least $200 million in damage in Bermuda. [35] One person died after his oxygen support was cut off during a power outage. Hurricane Cristobal also caused fatalities, though it did not strike land. Fay caused about $3.8 million in damage in Bermuda after striking the island. The system finally dissipated over northwest Guatemala on the following day. Maximum sustained winds are 35 mph, and the depression will likely become a tropical storm Friday, according to the National Hurricane Center. Moving slowly eastward, the system redeveloped a new surface circulation on October 21, becoming a tropical depression on the next day about 175 mi (280 km) west of Campeche, Mexico. Steered west and eventually west-northwest, the cyclone rapidly intensified amid favorable atmospheric dynamics, becoming a minimal hurricane by 12:00 UTC on October 13. Six hours later, the depression was upgraded to Tropical Storm Dolly. Numerous fishing boats were destroyed and the island was subject to a widespread power outage. [24] The most intense tropical cyclone – Hurricane Gonzalo – peaked with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph (230 km/h) on October 16 which is a Category 4 on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale.
