High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Tropical Storm Cindy was a weak but unusually wet North Atlantic hurricane that caused disastrous flooding across Martinique in August 1993. Cindy formed east of the island and became the annual hurricane season`s third named storm on August 14. Due to unfavorable atmospheric conditions, Cindy remained disorganized while crossing the northeastern Caribbean Sea. After attaining maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 km/h), the storm began to weaken from interaction with the high terrain of Hispaniola. It made landfall in the Dominican Republic as a tropical depression on August 16, and dissipated over the territory the following day.
