Hurricane Cristobal’s Closest Point At 7am Today
[Updated] According to the Bermuda Weather Service’s latest update this morning [Aug 28], Hurricane Cristobal will be at at its closest point to Bermuda at 7.00am today, some 246 nautical miles to the north-north-west.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm carrying maximum sustained winds near 75 mph [120 km/h] with higher gusts.
The NHC predicts that the “center of Cristobal will rapidly move toward the north Atlantic well away from Bermuda during the next several hours and pass well south of Nova Scotia later today.”
As of this writing [6.30am] the weather seems inclement, but not hurricane conditions, and we are not aware of the weather forcing any cancellations today, however if that changes we will update as able.
Update 9.08am: We checked with the Transport Ministry about ferry service, and were told: “St. George’s ferry service will resume Monday 1st September 2014 while other services are operating to schedule at the moment. Due to the forecast further service interruption are still likely.”

Do you know if the ferries are cancelled at all?
I think the weather service got the days mixed up and the hurricane was on Monday lol
I have to wonder where they get their imformation from. It does not look like they get it from the same place I get mine, the National Hurricane Center website.
Thanks for sparing us Christopher.
