From 2000 to the present, at least [to be determined] tropical or subtropical cyclones have affected the Leeward Islands.

2000–2004

  • August 22, 2000 – Hurricane Debby makes three landfalls in Barbuda, Saint Barthélemy, and Virgin Gorda as a minimal hurricane with winds of 75 mph (121 km/h).[1] Throughout the Leeward Islands, intense gusts damaged fruit trees and downed power lines[2] while tides up to 13 feet were recorded in Guadeloupe and Sint Maarten.[3] Due to causing minimal damage, the Sint Maarten Tourism Bureau stated that Debby "was the weakest hurricane St. Maarten experienced in several years."[4]
