Hurricanes are in the news as Priscilla, Gabrielle, Erin, and Alvin threaten Mexico, Bermuda, and Atlantic ports—nature’s power on full display.
Gabrielle's winds have increased to 75 mph, with rapid intensification possible. The storm is tracking north-northwest, expected to pass east of Bermuda on Monday. Large ocean swells are impacting Bermuda and will reach North America and Atlantic Canada. No warnings are in effect, but authorities remain alert.
Priscilla, a large tropical storm with 65 mph winds, is heading northwest toward Mexico's coast. A tropical storm watch is in effect from Punta San Telmo to Punta Mita, with conditions expected Sunday and Monday. Another system, Octave, remains far offshore with no land impact forecast. The storm is forecast to reach hurricane status soon.
