High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Tropical Storm Nicole was a short-lived and asymmetric tropical cyclone that caused extensive damage in Jamaica during the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season. It was the sixteenth tropical cyclone and fourteenth named storm of the season, as well as the last of a record eight tropical storms to form in September 2010. Originating from a monsoonal low, Nicole attained tropical depression status over the northwestern Caribbean Sea on September 28. It maintained an unusual structure as it tracked northeastward, with a poorly-defined circulation and few thunderstorms near the center. Nicole crossed Cuba as a weak tropical storm, and subsequently dissipated near the Straits of Florida. There, it eventually became absorbed by a separate extratropical system.
