2022 Atlantic hurricane season (Bob's new version)

The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season was an annual event in tropical cyclone formation in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Tropical Storm Alex
In mid-June, a tropical wave entered the southern Caribbean Sea. This tropical wave eventually reached the Bay of Campeche on June 18, when it began to develop more showers and thunderstorms. At 18:00 UTC on June 20, after a reconnaissance aircraft observed a well-defined surface circulation, the wave developed into Tropical Depression One in the central Bay of Campeche. 18 hours later, another aircraft reported that the cyclone had acquired tropical-storm force winds, supporting an upgrade to Tropical Storm Alex. Unlike most June Bay of Campeche tropical cyclones which continue to move westward into Mexico, Alex took a sharp turn to the North and Tropical Storm Warnings were issued for Coastal Texas. Alex peaked with maximum sustained winds of 65 mph early on June 22, and then made landfall at this intensity near Houston, Texas. Alex continued to move straight northward, weakening to a tropical depression. Alex then dissipated early on June 23 over northern Texas. Alex caused 3 deaths and approximately $10 million in damage, all in Texas.
