The
1928 Atlantic hurricane season featured the
Okeechobee hurricane, which was second deadliest
tropical cyclone in the history of the United States. Only eight tropical cyclones developed during the
season. Of these eight tropical systems, seven of them intensified into a tropical storm and four further strengthened into hurricanes. One hurricane deepened into a major hurricane, which is Category 3 or higher on the modern-day
Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale. The first system, the
Fort Pierce hurricane, developed near the
Lesser Antilles on August 3. The storm crossed the
Bahamas and made
landfall in
Florida. Two fatalities and approximately $235,000 in damage was reported. A few days after the first storm developed, the
Haiti hurricane, formed near the southern
Windward Islands on August 7. The storm went on to strike
Haiti,
Cuba, and Florida. This storm left about $2 million in damage and at least 210 deaths. Impacts from the third system are unknown.
