Hurricane Hilda Threatens Florida Coast From Bahamas Drift
Hurricane Hilda, the eighth tropical storm of the year, drifted toward the Bahamas and posed a potential threat to Florida’s east coast. At 5 am it was about 75 miles southwest of Turks Island and 700 miles southeast of Miami, moving west-northwest around 12 mph with possible speeds to 14 mph. Maximum winds reached 60 mph inland near Turks Island, with hurricane winds over a small area near the center and gale winds extending up to 125 miles north and 80 miles south. If it gains speed to catch a trough from Cape Hatteras it could veer north and away, otherwise it may threaten the coast as it tracks toward Great Inagua and the Ragged Islands.
