Hypercane Bob (1991)

Hypercane Bob, also known as the July storm was the strongest tropical cyclone on record. Forming on July 3rd, Bob steadily intensified as it moved across the Atlantic. Encountering anomalously warm waters, Bob rapidly intensified, reaching hypercane intensity on July 11th. As the storm moved northwards along the East Coast of the United States, the storm steadily weakened, transforming extratropical on July 26th.
