Hurricane GONZALO Is Battering Bermuda Now: May Reach Britain In A Few Days!

This guy may not be as big and powerful as Katrina but he has stamina. Hurricane Gonzalo which is hammering Bermuda now, may even reach the British Isles , according to the NHC!

That means this storm is going to make a trans-Atlantic trip. Very few storms have done that in recorded history.

The guy is pulverising Bermuda with 185 Kph winds. Newfoundland will get a taste of Gonzalo in a day or two with 100+ kph winds. When it reaches Britain on October 21, 2014, it will still pack winds of 60-115 Kph. Phew!

Gonzalo Is A Category 4 Storm Now: Will Weaken Soon: Bermuda Is In For A Hammering

Bermuda is in for a hiding from Hurricane Gonzalo. The battering will start from 3:00 PM (Local Time) in the afternoon. Heavy rains and winds that a Category 4 Hurricane can whip up.

Folks in mainland USA can rest easy. Gonzalo is not expected to make landfall anywhere. But expect some winds along the coast. In short the storm will prove a nuisance only for ships in the Atlantic Ocean, who are taking evasive action right now.

Newfoundland in Canada will have to be wary. A weakened Gonzalo is going to come calling on Saturday-Sunday night.
