However, with warm ocean waters to feed off, plus a large high pressure system in the upper atmosphere providing light winds, little shear, and a system to “evacuate” heat from the storm, Hazel regained strength very quickly. The mountainous terrain of Haiti weakened Hazel substantially. Hazel then moved through the Windward Passage between Haiti and Cuba. Winds reached 125 mph over parts of the region.
