Morning Update
Hurricane Fiona is a Category 4 storm this morning with winds of 130 mph. It is the strongest hurricane in an otherwise quiet season. This strength was forecast and it is going to continue to be a player across the east coast.
The track is moving north of North Caicos Island this morning and tracking to the west of Bermuda by Friday. It will miss the eastern US, but send rip currents and beach erosion up and down the coast.
Snapshot
Before sunrise, the center of the storm was located more than 100 miles north of North Caicos Island. This is a rough estimate as the National Hurricane Center did not post their update at 5 AM.
