Hurricane Irene originated as a wave of low pressure off the coast of Africa around 15 August. It passed through the Cape Verde islands with no organized rainfall or circulation. It crossed the Atlantic over the next four days and gradually developed more convection and circulation. It became a tropical storm on 20 August, about 300 miles east of Martinique. It became a Cat 1 hurricane on the morning of 22 August, just as it hit Puerto Rico.
