What is Hurricane Earl (2010)?
'''Hurricane Earl''' was an intense and long-lived [[tropical cyclone|hurricane]] that was also the first such storm to threaten [[New England]] since [[Hurricane Bob]] nineteen years earlier. The storm's center passed eighty six miles east of [[North Carolina]] on September 3, 2010. The storm then moved northeast, eventually being downgraded to tropical storm status and then becoming a hurricane again shortly before the storm made landfall in [[Nova Scotia]]. Before lashing the eastern [[United States]], the hurricane passed extremely close to the [[Leeward Islands]]; the damage there totaled $40 million (2010 USD). {{weather-stub}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Earl}} [[Category:2010 Atlantic hurricane season]] [[Category:Category 4 Atlantic hurricanes]] [[Category:Hurricanes in the United States]]
