Hurricane Nicole is bringing strong winds and heavy rain to Bermuda on Thursday morning.\u00a0 At 11:00 a.m. EDT on Thursday the center of Hurricane Nicole was located at latitude 32.3\u00b0N and longitude 64.6\u00b0W which put it about 10 miles (15 km) east of Bermuda.\u00a0 Nicole was moving toward the northeast at 16 m.p.h. (26 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 120 m.p.h. (195 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 140 m.p.h. (225 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 961 mb.\u00a0 A Hurricane Warning remains in effect for Bermuda.<\/p>\n
Nicole is a large powerful hurricane.\u00a0 Winds to hurricane force extend out about 65 miles (105 km) from the center of circulation.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extend out about 180 miles (290 km) from the center.\u00a0 The diameter of the eye is approximately 35 miles (55 km).<\/p>\n
A weather station on Pearl Island reported sustained winds to 87 m.p.h. (141 km\/h) with wind gusts to 119 m.p.h. (191 km\/h).\u00a0 An elevated weather station at Commissioner’s Point reported sustained winds to 92 m.p.h. (148 km\/h) and wind gusts to 122 m.p.h. (196 km\/h).<\/p>\n
Hurricane Nicole is moving toward the northeast at 16 m.p.h. (26 km\/h).\u00a0 So, it will take approximately two hours for the eye of Hurricane Nicole to move across Bermuda.\u00a0 After the eye passes, hurricane force winds in the southern half of Nicole will affect Bermuda.\u00a0 The winds should gradually diminish later today when Hurricane Nicole moves northeast of Bermuda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
