  Hurricane page of the Tuna Point Lighthouse, Faro De Punta Tuna, Maunabo, Puerto Rico
Hurricanes are severe tropical storms that form in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and in the eastern Pacific Ocean.
The intensity of the hurricane at this time was estimated to be at 90 mph and the storm was moving at a fast forward speed of 21 mph with an eye of 14 nm in diameter.
This hurricane in its impact is very similar to that of the 1893 hurricane.  Its center hits to the west of Maunabo and the lighthouse, this leaves the Punta Tuna to withstand what any weather person will tell you is the worst part of the storm with the highest winds and worst rains.

In Breach of Faith, Jed Horne has created a spellbinding epic of one of the worst disasters of our time.
