Nadine turned east-northeastward Sept. 17 where it lost its no-pain-no-gain-strength-like attitude upon crossing paths with southwestern wind shear. On Sept. 23, Nadine turned eastward again and lost its status as a tropical cyclone, but five days later Nadine regained its strength and became a hurricane for the second time. It then decided to show off its new 92 mph maximum sustained wind strength by changing course again toward the northwest. Its grand tour came to an end on Oct. 4 but not before dazzling meteorologists with more twists and turns.
