History
Hurricane Rafael stared out as a tropical storm with humble beginnings near Cape Verde on November 1st. Interactions with nor'easters really allowed Hurricane Rafael to too loop back to the Caribbean allowed Rafeal to affect the whole Caribean, and interaction with Hurricanes Sara allowed it to cross Panama, and create deadly tornadoes in the process. Westerlies and rising sea-level temperatures allowed Hurricane Rafael to move up the west coast, before finally stopping in Sibera on December 10th.

Hurricane Rafael's size varied a lot. In the beginning, it was about the size of the UK. When it hit the Caribbean, it was the size of Iran. During its second pass over the Caribbean, it was about the size of India. When it hit Oregon, it was about the size of Pakistan. When it ended in Siberia, it was about the size of Romania.

Damage
Hurricane Rafael was the costliest hurricane in human history. The west coast was most impacted by Hurricane Rafael because they were the least prepared. In total, 3800 people died, 870,000 people were injured, and cost $1.1 trillion in damages. Strangely, Hurricane Rafael gave so many people crippling depression, the name couldn't be retired.

Hurricane Rafael generated a lot of tornadoes in Mexico, Texas, Alabama, Maine, Oregon, Panama, and Venesuela. Those tornadoes alone cost over $100 million in damage.

It took over 2 decades to rebuild from Hurricane Rafael. Once they did, they learned their lesson about climate change, and stopped using fossil fuels to speed up climate change.
