The second recorded <a href="/wiki/Tropical_cyclone" title="Tropical cyclone">tropical cyclone</a> of the <a href="/wiki/1949_Atlantic_hurricane_season" title="1949 Atlantic hurricane season">annual hurricane season</a>, the system originated from a <a href="/wiki/Tropical_wave" title="Tropical wave">tropical wave</a> near the northern <a href="/wiki/Leeward_Islands" title="Leeward Islands">Leeward Islands</a> on August 23. Already a tropical storm upon initial observations, the cyclone curved west-northwestward and intensified, becoming a hurricane on August 25. Rapid intensification ensued as the storm approached the central <a href="/wiki/The_Bahamas" title="The Bahamas">Bahamas</a> early on August 26, with the storm reaching Category 4 hurricane strength later that day and peaking with maximum sustained winds of 130 mph (210 km/h) shortly after striking <a href="/wiki/Andros,_Bahamas" class="mw-redirect" title="Andros, Bahamas">Andros</a>. Late on August 26, the storm made landfall near <a href="/wiki/Lake_Worth_Beach,_Florida" title="Lake Worth Beach, Florida">Lake Worth, Florida</a>, at the same intensity. The cyclone initially weakened quickly after moving inland, falling to Category 1 status early the next day. Shortly thereafter, the system curved northward over the <a href="/wiki/Nature_Coast" title="Nature Coast">Nature Coast</a> and entered <a href="/wiki/Georgia_(U.S._state)" title="Georgia (U.S. state)">Georgia</a> on August 28, where it weakened to a tropical storm.
