The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season had been fairly quiet. This was the first time in eight years that there were no pre-season named storms. Then came the week of Sept. 12. First, Hurricane Fiona started to form, becoming a tropical depression on Sept. 14 and heading for the U.S.
Fiona caused major damage to Puerto Rico and parts of Canada, but missed the U.S. for the most part after threatening the East Coast. But a week after Fiona’s formation started, Ian began building up in the West Indies. After hitting Cuba as a category 3 hurricane on Sept. 27, the storm headed for Florida.
