Hurricane Cristobal (Cardozo)

Hurricane Cristobal was the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded until ???? when Hurricane ?????? surpassed it in pressure and wind speed. Cristobal was an extremely damaging and catastrophic hurricane that caused mass flooding in the Gulf states.

Cristobal originated from a tropical wave that developed into a depression on August 16. During the first two days of tropical cyclogenesis, Cristobal was a weak tropical storm that made landfall in Puerto Rico, sharply turned west, and made landfall in the Dominican Republic as a tropical depression, then degenerated into a remnant low.
