Hurricane Epsilon (2060) (Misteeer)

Hurricane Epsilon was one of the worst tropical cyclones on record to impact Atlantic Canada. It was also the northernmost forming tropical cyclone on record worldwide, and the first hurricane on record to make a landfall in Quebec. It killed over 1,000 people, was responsible for several billion dollars in damage, and was the northernmost major hurricane on record until 2097.

Epsilon developed from a low-pressure system of non-tropical origin in the Gulf of St. Lawrence on September 24, 2060, and with record warm water temperatures following an extremely hot summer and early fall in the region, was able to strengthen, first becoming subtropical, and eventually fully tropical. In defiance of the vast majority of computer models, it became a major hurricane. The hurricane made three landfalls: the first on Cape Breton Island on September 29, the second in Newfoundland on October 1, and the final landfall in Quebec on October 3.
