Imelda Becomes Strong Extratropical Cyclone over the Atlantic, NHC Says
Hurricane Imelda caused flooding and left more than 17,000 residents without power before weakening and moving away from Bermuda, officials reported.
- On Oct. 2, Hurricane Imelda passed just south of Bermuda as a Category 2 storm, then weakened to Category 1 and moved away about 230 miles east-northeast at 30 mph.
- Amid forecasts from NOAA, the sudden course change was linked to Hurricane Humberto, which passed Bermuda on Tuesday and influenced Imelda's trajectory.
- Bermuda reported downed trees and more than 17,000 customers without power Thursday, while authorities closed schools, offices and the airport and deployed 100 soldiers.
- Forecasters warned Imelda, with remnants of Humberto, will cause dangerous surf and life-threatening rip currents spreading by Oct. 3.
- The National Hurricane Center will monitor an area near the northwestern Bahamas and southern Florida by Oct. 4, with a 10% chance of development over the next seven days.
