Hurricane Helene (2018 - Bob - East Coast version)

Hurricane Helene was one of the most destructive tropical cyclones to affect the United States east coast. The strongest, costliest, and deadliest storm of the near average 2018 Atlantic hurricane season, Helene formed from an interaction of a tropical wave and an upper-level low near the Bahamas on September 13. Helene gradually strengthened in a low-shear, warm water environment, and eventually became a major hurricane well east of Florida. Helene made landfalls in the North Carolina Outer Banks, Long Island, and Connecticut all at hurricane intensity.
