Hurricane LT strengthens before Bermuda threat in 1981 season
LT maintains hurricane strength for 12 to 24 hours over colder waters as it nears Bermuda. It is the fifth storm of the 1981 season, born from a western Atlantic low and moving away after causing thundershowers, rough seas, and squalls. A tropical low near Puerto Rico moves NW at 10 mph. Across the Labor Day weekend, motorists face 480 to 580 expected traffic deaths, with prior highs in 1980 and prior holidays.
