Hurricane Bill

An intense Hurricane, christened as Bill is said to have been howling over the Atlantic Ocean in the late hours of Wednesday and the weather department and the experts have tagged it as a potentially dangerous storm grouped in to Category 4. While it travels north, it can get more intensified by the contact of warm waters.

The forecasters have further revealed that the most immense of the consequences of the storm will be felt at Bermuda and surrounding region including the south eastern coast of the United States by the weekend. The national hurricane center also requested the Leeward Islands population to be on their alerts round the clock for the storm, even though its heart was expected to go by well towards the northeastern part of the chain by the end of the next day. The fishermen in Antigua have already been asked to dock their vessels.
