Storm History The tropical storm that later ravaged Puerto Rico developed on August 3rd in the tropical Atlantic, likely from a tropical wave. It moved in a west-northwest direction, becoming a hurricane on the 5th. As it neared the northern Lesser Antilles, it strengthened into a major hurricane, bringing heavy winds to Dominica, St. Kitts, and Guadeloupe on the 7th. It continued to intensify to its peak of 150 mph before hitting southeast Puerto Rico on the 8th. It crossed the island in an east-southeast to west-northwest direction, causing maximum wind speeds between 110 and 140 mph throughout. August 3 is the 215th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar (216th in leap years), with 150 days remaining. ...

The extratropical cyclone turned southeastward where, on the 26th, it became a tropical storm again. Like most of the rest of its lifetime, it drifted, first to the northwest then to the east. It strengthened as it moved eastward, and on the 3rd, as it was moving through the Azores, it again became a hurricane. The intensification didn't last long, and the hurricane became extratropical for good on the 4th. It dissipated that day while racing across the northeastern Atlantic.
