Posted by dand124 on Sat Oct 1 22:26:54 2011, in response to OPHELIA: ITS BUSH'S FAULT!, posted by Mitch45 on Wed Sep 14 15:01:49 2005. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204138204576605691234418336.htmlHurricane Ophelia has intensified to a Category 4 storm as it passes east of Bermuda and heads north toward Newfoundland, where the entire Avalon Peninsula is under a tropical storm watch. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Saturday evening that Ophelia had maximum sustained winds near 135 mph, up from 120 mph late Saturday afternoon. It was moving north at 26 mph and was 140 miles east of Bermuda. It was expected to weaken rapidly late Sunday, though tropical-storm-force winds are possible on the Avalon Peninsula early Monday. Ophelia is the season's fourth hurricane. Earlier, Ophelia caused flooding and cut off communities on Dominica. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Philippe was stronger but it remained far from land in the Atlantic. |
