“Unseen Fury: Jaw-Dropping Space Photography Reveals the True Power of Storms Like Never Before!”
As a Category 1 hurricane, the storm made landfall on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, the first hurricane to hit the United States since Hurricane Ike in 2008.
Tropical Cyclone Ului Grew Incredibly Fast
The Severe Tropical Storm Ului was one of the fastest-intensifying tropical cyclones ever recorded. In 2010, it strengthened from a tropical storm to a Category 5 equivalent cyclone within just 30 hours, tying with Hurricane Wilma for the fastest rate of intensification from a tropical storm to a Category 5.
It traveled throughout Queensland, Australia, damaging around $20 million worth of infrastructure. However, it also destroyed a decent amount of crops with agricultural losses reaching over $54 million. Luckily, there was only one death related to the storm considering how fast it grew and to what level.
Hurricane Karl Was The First Of Its Kind
In 2010, Hurricane Karl became the most destructive tropical cyclone on record to ever hit the Mexican state of Veracruz. It was the last major hurricane of the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season, forming on September 11th. It started off of the northern coast of Venezuela, crossed the Caribbean, and became Tropical Storm Karl on September 14.
It strengthened in the Bay of Campeche before it made landfall in Veracruz where it was a full-blown hurricane. It was the first hurricane ever recorded in the Bay of Campeche causing damages of up to $3.9 million and killing 22 people.
