Hurricane Lisa was a small Category 1 hurricane that stayed away from land areas. The fourteenth storm, twelveth tropical storm, seventh hurricane, and last of the Cape Verde-type season, Lisa developed from a small tropical wave near the Cape Verde Islands. It quickly intensified into Tropical Storm Lisa, and became a hurricane a couple of days later. Lisa also made an unusual eastward motion, far south by the Cape Verde Islands. Lisa never posed any threat to land areas, and dissipated out in the north Atlantic Ocean. With the dissipation of Lisa, it concluded one of the longest periods in which at least one tropical cyclone was active in the Atlantic basin, behind 2004 and tying 2005.
