Hurricane Karl (Cooper)

Hurricane Karl was the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Atlantic basin, and is tied with Hurricane Allen as the most intense Atlantic hurricane by sustained wind speeds. The eleventh named storm, seventh hurricane, and third major hurricane of the hyperactive 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, Karl caused extensive damage in the Greater Antilles and the Southeastern United States, particularly in Alabama, where it was the costliest tropical cyclone in the history of that state.
