Another Hurricane?

Wednesday, October 15, 2008

I didn't even realize there was another hurricane out there! It's name is Omar and it apparently hit the Southeastern Caribbean already. This morning it sustained winds of nearly 80 mph and is expected to continue to gain strength over the next 24 hours. It might be a category 2 storm by the time it reaches the Leeward Islands later today. There have already been hurricane warnings issued for the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico's Vieques and Culebra Islands. Also a tropical storm warning is in effect for the entire coast of Honduras. I just hate these hurricanes and hope everyone is safe this go around!
