A tropical wave came to the coast of Mexico in mid-July and slowly organized itself into Tropical Depression Four-E on July 18. The next day, Four-E was upgraded into Tropical Storm Douglas. As a Pacific storm, Douglas briefly reached hurricane status while it crossed over the Yucatan peninsula, before entering the Gulf of Mexico and rapidly intensifying into a Category 5 hurricane. Douglas would later make landfall in Alabama and affect the entire southeastern United States. Douglas would pass over the Atlanta area while still a strong hurricane, and would destroy SunTrust Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. Despite the damage the name Douglas was not retired.
