by the pictures it looks as if we are going get some of this storm maybe not a direct hit but something…. i could be wrong i cant read weather……
Sorry – am I missing something here???
It’s heading straight for us…hello, anyone awake at BWS and Govt???
Looks like a threat to me. The term “potential threat”, “not a threat” and “threat” need to be redone by the BWS. It’s pointing right at us. Prepare, Bermuda!
