Hurricane Laura was an unusual category 4 hurricane in the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season. It formed from the remnants of Tropical Depression Four-E in the Pacific in the Bay of Campeche and took on an unusual northeastward track towards the Big Bend of Florida, eventually curving out to the Gulf Stream, which allowed Laura to strengthen into a low-end category 4 hurricane. Laura was one of the northernmost category 4 Atlantic hurricanes on record.
