Bill Hits Cat 4 and I’m Not Liking the Storm Track
If you live on the Mid-Atlantic coast, keep your eyes on Hurricane Bill.
Hurricane Bill, the first of the 2009 Atlantic season, gathered strength and grew into a dangerous Category 4 storm with sustained winds of up to 135 mph on Wednesday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
Bill posed no threat to oil installations in the Gulf of Mexico but authorities in Bermuda, a British territory and reinsurance capital, warned residents to be prepared.
The projected track shouldn’t take the storm anywhere near the Gulf. However, if it decides to zig and not zag, then folks from North Carolina to New York could get hit pretty hard. The current five-day forecast has it veering off before it hits the US, but hurricanes have a nasty habit of not obeying five-day forecasts.

I think we all here in New England have more to be worried about from the weather reports I've just seen.
