Major Hurricane Nicole 115 MPH Winds Nearing Bermuda
MAJOR HURRICANE NICOLE WATER VAPOR LOOP
We now have major Hurricane Nicole and it appears to be the strongest hurricane to impact Bermuda since Hurricane Fabian in 2003 which is considered to be one of the strongest to impact the island. We are still waiting for reconnaissance aircraft to finish its penetration of Nicole to see just how strong the hurricane actually is. The eye is very large, almost 40 miles wide. We will report on the aircraft as soon as we see it.
