User:Cooper7579/Hurricane Earl

Hurricane Earl was the costliest hurricane in New England history, inflicting approximately $28 billion in damages, and was also the first major hurricane to make landfall in New England since Hurricane Carol in 1954. The fifth named storm, second hurricane, first major hurricane, and the strongest storm of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, Earl developed from a tropical wave that moved off the west coast of Africa on August 17. The wave quickly organized as it moved westward, developing into a tropical depression on August 19, and strengthening into a tropical storm the following day.
