Hurricane Hanna was the first of a record-tying six Atlantic hurricanes to make landfall in the United States in a single season. The eighth named storm and first of fourteen hurricanes of the extremely active 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, Hanna developed from a tropical wave originating near Hispaniola. This disturbance dropped heavy rain upon parts of Hispaniola, Cuba, and Florida. The wave gradually became more organized and developed into a tropical depression in the central portion of the Gulf of Mexico. The depression strengthened into a tropical storm on July 24, setting a new record for the earliest eighth-named storm in the basin, getting its name 10 calendar days before the previous record holder, Tropical Storm Harvey of 2005. Hanna steadily intensified as it drifted toward Southern Texas, becoming the season's first hurricane early on July 25. It then began to quickly strengthen just before making landfall at 22:00 UTC later that day as a high-end Category 1 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph (140 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 973 mbar. Hanna weakened quickly as it moved inland and turned west-southwest, eventually dissipating over Mexico on July 26. Category 1 hurricane: peak winds of 90 mph (80 knots), lowest pressure 973 mb. July 23 – July 26, 2020. Landfalls: July 25 at 90 mph, 26.8°N 97.3°W; July 25 at 90 mph, 26.7°N 97.5°W. Accumulated cyclone energy: 3.6.
