High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Hurricane Frank was the last of three hurricanes in the 2010 Pacific hurricane season, which set a record low within modern day records for the basin. It formed from an area of thunderstorms from the Caribbean Sea, and became Tropical Depression Nine-E on August 22 while located just south of the Mexican Coast. It moved northwest, and became Tropical Storm Frank only 12 hours after it was declared a depression. It strengthened to its initial peak as a moderate tropical storm, and weakened due to increasing wind shear late on the August 23. It later recovered, and became a hurricane on August 25. After peaking as a strong Category 1 hurricane, it rapidly weakened, and dissipated on August 28. Although Frank never made landfall, it did impact western Mexico. A total of six people were killed with over 800,000 people affected.
