MIAMI, Aug 29 (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Earl became a hurricane on Sunday, following behind Hurricane Danielle.
Earl, located 365 miles (585 km) east of the Northern Leeward Islands, had top sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kmh) as it pushed across the mid-Atlantic behind Danielle.
Danielle, which has posed no threat to land or the U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil patch, is the first major hurricane of the 2010 season. (Editing by Bill Trott)
