2906 Atlantic Hurricane Season

The 2906 Atlantic was a below average season. On December 30, a tropical wave developed near Africa. It struggled to develop due to a lot of wind shear. The wave began to show signs of organization as it moved over warmer water. The wave later developed into Tropical Depression 1 on January 3rd. The depression struck the Windward Islands as it progressed north east. Tropical depression 1 unexpectedly strengthened into Tropical Storm April on January 7th. April became a hurricane the next day. Hurricane watches and warnings were issued from New Jersey to New Hampshire. At 12:00 a.m. EDT on the 9th, April made landfall while at peak intensity between Ocean and Monmouth counties in New Jersey. April weakened rapidly and was downgraded to a Tropical depression. April became a remnant low early on the 10th in northern New York. April killed 27 people and damage totaled 4 million dollars.
