The storm quickly dissipated. It produced 28 mph (45 km/h) wind gusts in Jacksonville, Florida. Hurricane Two On August 13, a tropical storm formed in the Atlantic. It followed the track of a Cape Verde hurricane, becoming a hurricane on August 17. It recurved to the north and northeast as it was reaching its peak of 115 mph (185 km/h). As it passed to the south of Nova Scotia, it slowed down and drifted towards the coast of Newfoundland. The hurricane was able to retain hurricane strength, and made landfall on Newfoundland on August 26, and became extratropical the next day. Despite its relatively low maximum winds, the Nova Scotia Cyclone was a deadly storm. Also known as "The Lord's Day Gale" and "The Great Nova Scotia Hurricane of 1873," it destroyed 1200 boats and 900 buildings in Nova Scotia, and killed at least 223 people, mostly sailors who were lost at sea. This number is disputed, as The Monthly Weather Review, published by the Weather Service, set the death toll at 223 but The New York Times published a death toll of 600. The hurricane caused $3.5 million in damage (1873 US dollars, or $53.9 million in 2005 dollars).
