The 1933 Florida–Mexico hurricane was the first of five Atlantic hurricanes to affect the United States during the very active 1933 Atlantic hurricane season. The fifth tropical cyclone of the year, it formed east of the Lesser Antilles on July 24, rapidly strengthening as it moved west-northwest. It passed over or near Antigua, Saba, and Saint Thomas, reaching hurricane status on July 26. In the northeastern Caribbean it produced heavy rains and killed at least six people. Over the next three days, it moved north of the Caribbean, paralleling the Lucayan Archipelago. As it crossed the Bahamas, the storm drowned at least one person and caused extensive damage. On July 29, a strong ridge nudged it westward, presaging landfall near Hobe Sound, Florida, a day later. One of two hurricanes to hit the Treasure Coast in 1933, the compact storm unraveled inland, reaching the eastern Gulf of Mexico near Charlotte Harbor as a tropical storm. A minimal hurricane, it caused little wind damage in Florida, but generated heavy rains and localized floods. Once over water, the storm shifted its course to the west-southwest and gradually regained intensity, its path bringing it to the mouth of the Rio Grande in early August. On August 4 the storm restrengthened into a hurricane, just a day before striking near Playa Lauro Villar—a site in northern Tamaulipas, Mexico—with winds of 90 mph (150 km/h), equal to a high-end Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale; it was the first of two hurricanes in 1933 to impact nearby South Texas. Hitting close to the Mexico–United States border, its winds damaged buildings and crops in both nations, with heavy losses to citrus production in the Rio Grande Valley. While only one person died in the United States, the storm dropped much rain over northern Mexico, engendering catastrophic floods that claimed at least 31 lives, with the worst-hit areas being in and near the city of Monterrey. While monetary losses in Mexico were unclear, the storm did at least $3,000,000 in damages in the United States, measured in contemporary U.S. dollars.
