Cleos Gales Heading For Miami Area
Hurricane Cleo strengthens off Cuba and heads toward Florida and the Bahamas. The Miami Weather Bureau issued a hurricane watch for the southeast coast, warning residents to prepare for possible rapid safety measures as Cleo could bring hurricane winds to south Florida. Reconnaissance pilots located the eye south of Miami, with the storm moving northwestward and expected to pass east of Miami, possibly intensifying as it crosses the Florida Strait. Residents and sailors were urged to seek safe harbor, while Key West escaped direct danger as evacuations began and supplies were gathered.
