Hurricane Rafael was a long-lived category 1 hurricane that produced minor damage in the northeastern Caribbean Sea and affected the coastlines of Atlantic Canada in mid-October 2012. The seventeenth named storm and ninth hurricane of the 2012 hurricane season, Rafael originated from a tropical wave roughly 230 mi (370 km) south-southeast of Saint Croix on October 12; because the system already contained tropical storm-force winds, it skipped tropical depression status.
