southeast of Puerto Rico.  Strengthening into a tropical storm, its center moved northwest across
the Dominican Republic into the southeast Bahamas, developing into a hurricane on the 25th east
of the central Bahamas.  Its peak intensity was reached across the western subtropical Atlantic, where
it became a major hurricane.  The tropical cyclone continued to recurve, moving northwest of Bermuda
on the 28th.  The storm total rainfall maps below were constructed using data from data archived at
