She's a hurricane! Max winds of 90 mph predicted. Also, tropical storm watch out for Bermuda.

Ophelia is just the fourth hurricane of the Atlantic season, and that number is looking a little below average right now.  It's going to just miss Bermuda to the east and will head into the northern Atlantic as a good extratropical storm.

Looks like NHC completely underestimated Ophelia's wind speeds. She's now a major hurricane.

Considering Ophelia was truly struggling for life not too long ago, this just goes to show that pretty much anything is possible, and we're still in the learning stages for predicting tropical systems.

Wow, it's amazing to see how a once-dissippated, going-to-be-nothing Ophelia is now a CAT 4 hurricane with max. sustained winds of 140 mph! :o
