The season's first stubtropical storm ultimately churned into Hurricane Karen. Subtropical 
Storm 1 formed northwest of Bermuda on Oct. 12. Subtropical storms combine characteristics 
of both tropical cyclones and wintertime cyclones, and very often become tropical storms 
or hurricanes. In this case, it took only 24 hours for the system to organize into a 
hurricane. Karen spun northward through the Atlantic Ocean. It reached peak intensity on 
October 14, when its maximum sustained winds measured 80 mph. Karen weakened to a tropical 
storm the day before it moved over Nova Scotia.

Hurricane Karen reached Maximum Sustained Winds of 80mph and a Minimum Central Pressure 
of 982mb on October 14th, 2001.
