Hurricane Gonzalo (click here) barreled toward Bermuda on Friday, with forecasters warning of significant damage ahead and life-threatening storm surge. The National Hurricane Center said the eye of Gonzalo — currently packing Category 3 winds of 125 mph — will near the island Friday afternoon. "Gonzalo is expected to be a dangerous hurricane when it moves near Bermuda," according to the National Hurricane Center, which said the storm was moving north-northeastward and is expected to gain speed through Saturday....

The first time it reached category four status was on October 15, 2014 at 3PM with winds at 115 knots (132.5 mph) and a central pressure of 949. It sustained this status for six hours and then down graded to a category 3 for 12 hours with winds of 105 to 110 knots (121 - 126.7 mph) with a consistent central pressure of 953 millibars of pressure.

The second category 4 status was achieved the lowest central pressure 940 mbar or hPa which ever one prefers. The Cat 4 status sustained then for 27 hours with maximum sustained winds of 125 knots (144 mph). The storm is expected to hit Bermuda directly and cause damage. 

This is not an unusual event for Bermuda having sustained these storms since 1874 (click here). Of all these storms more than 16 percent were major hurricanes. In recent years 2003 was Hurricane Fabian with sustained winds of 104 knots (120 mph).

I think anyone can discern the hurricane and the little red dot that is Bermuda.
