🌀 Cindy · Tropical Storm · 45 mph

Saturday, August 14, 1993 · 12:00 PM – 12:00 AM

Tropical Storm Cindy was a weak but unusually wet Atlantic tropical cyclone that caused disastrous floods and mudslides across Martinique in August 1993. Cindy formed east of the island and became the annual hurricane season's third named storm on August 14. Due to unfavorable atmospheric conditions, Cindy remained disorganized throughout its journey across the northeastern Caribbean Sea. After attaining maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (72 km/h), the storm began to weaken from an interaction with the high terrain of Hispaniola. It made landfall in the Dominican Republic as a tropical depression on August 16, and dissipated over the territory the following day. Tropical Storm: peak winds of 45 mph (40 knots), lowest pressure 1007 mb. August 14 – August 17, 1993. Landfalls: August 14 at 40 mph, 14.5°N 60.9°W; August 16 at 35 mph, 18.3°N 71.0°W. Accumulated cyclone energy: 1.1. Wiki link Track: NOAA National Hurricane Center, HURDAT2 best track AL041993 (public domain).
