Then the Claudette came into formation on 16 August and turned into the first storm this year and caused landfall in the USA. While Ana is nearing the Caribbean although weakening up to Tropical Depression status.

As reported by the National Weather Services, the Bill is now moving at a bit faster speed (32 km/Hr) and shifting towards the West-Northwest and is likely to do so for the next two more days although still it’s not sure what direction it may take lately.

Latest updates few hours ago stated that the wind pressure reaching 220 KM/Hr therefore the gusts keep on rising and the Bill turned into a Hurricane already.

At moment, the status of Bill is something like this. Location still Northwest, Maximum Sustained Pressure is somewhat stable at 90 M/Hr whereas its moving WNW.
