Hurricane Bill update

Hurricane Bill update

Hurricane Bill, upgraded to a Category 4 storm, tore across the Atlantic Wednesday with raging winds nearing 135 mph, threatening a possible strike near Bermuda in a few days, meteorologists reported. Forecasters predicted the hurricane could get even stronger. "The wind sheer is light and the waters are warm," said Todd Kimberlain, a forecaster at the National Hurricane Center.

"Those are two essential ingredients not just for the formation, but also the maintenance, of hurricanes." Early Wednesday, Bill was centered about 460 miles east of the Leeward Islands and was expected to pass them later in the day or by early Thursday. The most significant threat could be to Bermuda, which the storm could hit in three or four days, Kimberlain said. It also could move directly between Bermuda and the eastern coast of the U.S. without making landfall.

The latest Hurricane Bill update is not that good news to people at Leeward Island because Bill is expected to touch the northeastern part of the island late Wednsday or early Thursday. The National Hurricane Center has adviced the people at Leeward Islands to monitor Bill's progress. Bill is now considered a dangerous category 4 storm; its top sustained wind has the speed of 135 mph. Bill is expected to hit Bermuda in three or four days. Last Tuesday Bill was 460 miles of Leeward Island and was moving west-northwest at about 16 miles per hour.
