Bermuda Trends As High As #3 On Twitter
Bermuda briefly trended as high as #3 in the United States rankings on Twitter this morning [Oct 19] due to a spree of tweets about Tropical Depression 27 by major U.S. media outlets and other Twitter users, with the U.S. National Hurricane Center saying “Bermuda should closely monitor the progress of this system.”
The term ‘Epsilon’ – the name that will be given to the depression if it becomes a tropical storm – also trended on the social media network.
The term ‘Bermuda’ trending so high in the United States rankings is notable as it is rare, with the story catching on among Twitter’s 48.35 million American users.
Regarding the tropical depression, the BWS said that it is a “potential threat to Bermuda”, the Bermuda Weather Service said, with its closest point of approach to Bermuda within 72 hours forecast to be 246 nm to the ESE at 9am on Thursday [Oct 22], with the BWS noting that “this system may move closer to Bermuda after this time period depending upon its track.””
