Hurricane Fernand (2019/Hitman)

Hurricane Fernand was a Category 2 hurricane that struck Cape Verde in July 2019, causing 6 deaths and around $16 million (2019 USD) in damages.

On July 14, the National Hurricane Center began to monitor a system that was expected to transform into a depression.

By the 17th, the storm became tropical depression Six. By the 19th, Six became Tropical Storm Fernand. On the following day, the 20th, Fernand became a Category 1 with 90 mph. Gaining more strength, Fernand became a high-end Category 2 with 110 mph winds.

Impacting Cape Verde at peak strength, Fernand caused an estimated $16 million in damages, while also causing 6 deaths.

After exiting Cape Verde, Fernand weakened to a tropical storm due to an area of high wind shear. On the 25th, Fernand became extratropical before dissipating the following day in the open Atlantic after causing an estimated $16 million in damages and 6 deaths.
