Hurricane Gonzalo Is Going to Slam Bermuda Today

Membership Ticker

HELP US
REACH
1,000!

Tomorrow is the last day of our Spring Membership Drive, and we’ve raised just 400 of our 1,000-donation goal. That gap is real and concerning—and so is what’s at stake. Every investigation we pursue, every story we refuse to drop, is funded by readers like you. The truth needs defenders. Will you be one?

The photo above was taken yesterday by an astronaut on the International Space Station. It shows Hurricane Gonzalo barreling across the Atlantic Ocean toward Bermuda.

Gonzalo, currently a Category 3 hurricane, is expected to make landfall in Bermuda this afternoon before veering back out to sea and away from the US East Coast. AccuWeather.com meteorologists are warning that the damage could be severe, with “a large and life-threatening storm surge [that] could exceed 10 feet and cause a major rise in water levels over coastal areas and causeways.”

Stay safe, Bermudans.
