Hurricane Danielle was the second hurricane and first major hurricane of the 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season. The storm first developed as a tropical depression off the Cape Verde Islands on August 21st. The next day the system strengthened into a tropical storm and was named Danielle. By the 23rd the storm stregthened into a hurricane. Between the 23rd and 26th Danielle fluctuated between Category 1 and Category 2 strength. On the 27th, Danielle moved into an environment with warmer sea surface temperatures and lower atmospheric wind shear. Danielle quickly strengthened into a Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 132 mph (212 km/hr) and a central minimum pressure of 942 mbar. At its peak intensity, Danielle began moving northwardly and eventually northeasterly, passing a few hundred miles east of Bermuda. Danielle began to weaken, and by the 31st Danielle became extra-tropical without having directly impacted any landmass. However, two deaths on the U.S. east coast were blamed on the violent rip currents caused by Danielle.

Earl formed off the west coast of Africa as a tropical depression and soon developed into a tropical storm on August 25th. Earl was later classified as a major hurricane, reaching Category 4 status on August 31st. The storm reached its peak on September 2nd with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph (233 km/hr). This was the strongest Atlantic hurricane since 2007. The storm's path took Earl over the Bahamas and eastern Caribbean, nearing the Outer Banks of North Carolina and moving northeastward, parallel to the eastern U.S. seaboard. However, the storm remained a few hundred miles offshore, passing near southern New England. Earl weakened and eventually made landfall as a tropical storm on September 4th in Nova Scotia, Canada before dissipating completely over land the next day.
