A wind gust of 38 knots was measured at bridge level by a cruise ship about 47 nautical miles southeast of Rock Harbor.

The wider storm

A strong pressure gradient between high pressure over the southeast United States and a trough of low pressure over the western Caribbean enabled numerous convective showers and a few thunderstorms to produce gale-force wind gusts over an extended period from midday September 20 through late morning September 22.

Began near Molasses Reef Light (24.6100, -79.9200).
