Agnes developed on June 14 from the interaction of a polar front and an upper trough over the Yucatán Peninsula . Initially forming as a tropical depression, the storm headed slowly eastward and emerged into the western Caribbean Sea on June 15 . Once in the Caribbean, the depression began to strengthen, and by the following day, it became Tropical Storm Agnes . Thereafter, Agnes slowly curved northward and passed just west of Cuba on June 17 . Early on June 18, the storm intensified enough to be upgraded to Hurricane Agnes . Heading northward, the hurricane eventually made landfall near Panama City, Florida late on June 19 . After moving inland, Agnes rapidly weakened and was only a tropical depression when it entered Georgia . The weakening trend halted as the storm crossed over Georgia and into South Carolina . While over eastern North Carolina, Agnes re-strengthened into a tropical storm on June 21, as a result of baroclinic activity . Early the following day, the storm emerged into the Atlantic Ocean before re-curving northwestward and making landfall near New York City as a strong tropical storm . Agnes quickly became an extratropical cyclone on June 23, and tracked to the northwest of Great Britain, before being absorbed by another extratropical cyclone on July 6 . </P> <P> Agnes was, at the time, the costliest hurricane to hit the United States in recorded history . </P>
