Hurricane Alberto
Hurricane Alberto (2000)
Jump to: navigation, searchHurricane Alberto was an Atlantic Cape Verde-type hurricane that formed on August 3, 2000 and became extratropical on August 23. Alberto was the first named storm, first hurricane, and first major hurricane of the 2000 Atlantic hurricane season.
Hurricane Alberto was notable for its long existence, lasting for 19.75 days, making it the longest-lived Atlantic storm in 2000. Alberto was also notable for the unusually large loop it completed in the open Atlantic that spanned approximately 5 degrees latitude and 8 degrees longitude. Also, Alberto was able to attain hurricane status on three separate occasions. The tropical wave that eventually became Alberto affected the west African mainland near Senegal, and the extratropical remnants passed close to Iceland and Jan Mayen. However, there were no reports of damages or casualties as a result of Hurricane Alberto.
