Hurricane Danielle

Hurricane Danielle was a Category 4 hurricane (like Hurricane Earl). With maximum wind speeds of 135 mph. She had almost the exact path as Hurricane Earl.

PS: Even though the image I posted of Hurricane Danielle has one advisory as a Category 4 hurricane, she actually had more than one advisory as a Category 4 hurricane.

Hurricane Earl

Hurricane Earl was a Category 4 hurricane with maximum wind speeds of 145 mph. If you go to http://stormpulse.com, and you type Hurricane Ike in the search box, you will see Ike's path. and if you type in Hurricane Earl in the search box, you will see that Earl's path is similar. He wasn't a threat to land except some Carribean islands and Nova Scotia, CAN.
