Answer:
The sixth tropical cyclone of the 1893 Atlantic hurricane season formed to the east of Cape Verde on 15 August. By 19 August, the system had intensified into a hurricane, reaching Category 3 strength on 22 August while located northeast of the Lesser Antilles. The hurricane then turned north-northwest as it approached the Bahamas on 25 August. That night, the first effects of the storm’s approach could be felt on the Sea Islands off the coast of Georgia and the barrier islands of South Carolina. Conditions rapidly deteriorated as the hurricane tracked parallel to the southeast U.S. coast for 161 km (100 mi) before making landfall as a Category 3 hurricane near Savannah, Georgia on 27 August. The hurricane carried an estimated 193 km/h (120 mph) winds and a tremendous storm surge (5 m/16 ft), which completely submerged many of the Sea Islands. The storm moved through South Carolina and up the East Coast before becoming extratropical over the Canadian Maritime Provinces on 1 September.
The hurricane’s storm surge caused a great amount of destruction to the Sea Islands and the peninsulas that line the Georgia and South Carolina coastlines. Some 2,000 people are said to have drowned during the event. Nearly every building on the Sea Islands was damaged beyond repair leaving 30,000 people homeless. It took over a month for the American Red Cross to arrive to the disaster areas, possibly due to ongoing efforts in response to another hurricane that had hit South Carolina in June. Relief efforts were further hampered by another Category 3 hurricane, which struck just north, near Charleston, South Carolina, on 13 October. After a significant 10-month relief campaign, housing and food resources had been restored to the Sea Islands. Damages from the hurricane totaled at least $1 million (1893 USD [$22.8 million 2007 USD])
