Final Event Briefing - Wind and Storm Surge - TC Bonnie - Trinidad and Tobago - July 9 2022 Final Event Briefing - Wind and Storm Surge - TC Bonnie - Trinidad and Tobago - July 9 2022

Tropical Cyclone Bonnie was the second Tropical Cyclone of the 2022 Atlantic Hurricane Season. On June 28 and 29 the storm system had not yet been designated by NOAA as a tropical cyclone when it passed over Trinidad. However, at that time its maximum sustained winds were higher than 39 mph, which is the condition for a storm system qualifying as a CCRIF Tropical Cyclone Event (these conditions did not extended over Tobago), and therefore this event briefing report is issued for Trinidad.
