MIAMI (AP) – A stronger and larger hurricane pogted parts of the Caribbean and was predicted to create dangerous surfing and cracking flows along the American east coast this week.
The again intensive to a category 4 storm with a maximum continuing winds of 130 mph) asked on Monday and came closer to the Southeast Bahamas according to the US National Hurricane Center according to the US National Hurricane Center in Miami.
Around 5 o’clock Monday there was about 105 miles (170 kilometers) north-north-east of Grand Turk Island and about 915 miles (1,470 kilometers) southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. The storm moved to the northwest at 13 km / h (20 km / h).
The government of Bahamas published a tropical storm guard for the central Bahamas, while a tropical storm warning remained in force for the Turks and Caicos Islands and Southeast Bahamas, the Hurricane Center reported.
Extra reinforcement was predicted for Monday followed by gradual weakening, but it was expected that he would stay a large, large hurricane in midweek.
Hurricane-Force Winden extended to 60 miles (95 kilometers) from the center and tropical storm-force winds extend to 230 miles (370 km). The area of strong wind is expected to grow more in the coming days. At that size, the coastal areas will influence, although it is not predicted that it will make a direct landing.
Dare County, North Carolina, explained an emergency and ordered an evacuation from Monday from Hatteras Island on the outer banks, the thin piece of low-lying barrier islands that bump far into the Atlantic Ocean. Several days of heavy surfing and strong wind and waves can rinse parts of NC Highway 12 that ran past the Barrière Islands, said the National Weather Service.
Erin, the first Atlantic Hurricane of the Year, reached an extremely dangerous category 5 status with 160 mph (260 km / h) on Saturday before it weakened.
“You are dealing with a large hurricane. The intensity fluctuates. It is in any case a dangerous hurricane,” said Richard Pasch of the National Hurricane Center.
Erin’s outer ties brought parts of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands with heavy rainfall and tropical storm winds during the day Sunday.
That eliminated electricity for around 147,000 customers, according to Luma Energy, a private company that supervises the transmission and distribution of electricity on the island. More than 20 flights were canceled because of the weather. The Coast Guard allowed all ports in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands to reopen on Sunday as the wind and rain decreased.
Raw ocean conditions were predicted for parts of the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola and the Turks and Caicos. Life-threatening surf and rip movements were predicted in midweek for the Bahamas, Bermuda, the American east coast and the Atlantic coast of Canada when it turns to the north and then northeast.
Scientists have linked the rapid intensification of hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean to climate change. Global warming ensures that the atmosphere retains more water vapor and is the ocean temperatures, and warmer waters give hurricanes of fuel to unleash more rain and to strengthen more faster.
