| Hurricane Tomas is the nineteenth named storm and twelfth hurricane of the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season and is currently active. Tomas developed from a tropical wave east of the Windward Islands on October 29. Quickly intensifying into a hurricane, it moved through the Windward Islands and passed very near Saint Lucia. After reaching Category 2 status on the Saffir-Simpson scale, Tomas quickly weakened to a tropical storm in the central Caribbean Sea, due to strong wind shear and dry air. Tomas later regained hurricane status. Throughout the hurricane's path, at least 24 people are known to have been killed, 14 of whom were in St. Lucia. Monetary losses have been estimated at nearly US$544 million, mainly in St. Lucia. body language to attract womenhives rash | |
