Hurricane Nicole continues to crank up winds over the Atlantic. After meandering around the open sea for several days Nicole is starting to move north, with Bermuda in its path. Following a long stretch as a tropical storm, Nicole has intensified into a strong Category 2 hurricane and will bring battering winds to the British Territory.
North Carolina continues to feel the devastating effects of Hurricane Matthew, days after the storm first impacted the state.
More than 4,000 days have passed since the last major hurricane made landfall in the mainland US. Matthew failed to break that drought, officially making landfall in South Carolina as a category one storm on October 9. That’s cold comfort, though, for residents of the coastal southeast who are beginning recovery efforts. An even greater humanitarian crisis is unfolding across portions of the northern Caribbean, especially Haiti.
Historic Hurricane Matthew has exited the Eastern Seaboard, but Tropical Storm Nicole continues to spin quietly over the open Atlantic. Nicole has been meandering for several days but is starting to move slowly north. Intensification is expected with Nicole likely to be a hurricane as it approaches Bermuda on Thursday.
