Hurricane Imelda is now closing in on Bermuda, just one day after Hurricane Humberto brushed the islands on Tuesday. And as of 11 a.m., the National Hurricane Center has issued its final advisory on Humberto, which has weakened and is no longer classified as a hurricane.
Hurricane Humberto showed rapid intensification and became a Category 5 storm at the 5 p.m. Saturday advisory from the National Hurricane Center. Humberto is now a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
As expected, Imelda strengthened into a hurricane Tuesday morning, Sept. 30. And it's not done yet. Some additional strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, according to the National Hurricane Center. The Category 1 hurricane is beginning a slow turn away from Florida, moving slowly to the northeast.
A new Florida law, which takes effect Oct. 1, was inspired by a dog that was tied up and abandoned during Hurricane Milton.
Tropical Storm Imelda is moving north on a path parallel to Florida. Indirect impacts from Imelda are expected in Florida, including dangerous beach conditions. Imelda is expected to strengthen into a hurricane.
