	Hurricane Connie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The precursor to Hurricane Connie was a tropical wave that moved across the Tropical Atlantic.
		The hurricane passed to the north of the Lesser Antilles on the 6th as it reached its peak intensity of 145 mph winds, but still caused rain and heavy surf.
		When Hurricane Diane struck 5 days later, the floods from Connie contributed to Diane's destruction and loss of life.

	Hurricane Diane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A cold low above and warm waters below provided instability, and as Diane turned northeastward on the 11th and 12th, it rapidly strengthened to its peak as a 120 mph (195 km/h) major hurricane.
		The hurricane steadily weakened as it moved west-northwestward, and Diane made landfall as a minimal Category 1 hurricane near Carolina Beach, North Carolina on August 17, about 150 miles southwest of Connie's landfall only 5 days before.
		It paralleled the south coast of New England as a tropical storm on August 19 and 20, and became extratropical on the 20th while south of Nova Scotia.
