'Extremely dangerous' Hurricane Bill churns in Atlantic

Hurricane Bill was said to be "extremely dangerous" at a Category 4, heading towards Bermuda, Wednesday. Forecasters warned that people should take all precautions necessary to be ready just in case the hurricane hit the Islands in the Caribbean Sea.

Hurricane Bill's winds were reported at "up to 85 miles of Hurricane force winds from the eye, and tropical storm-force winds up to 230 miles out." It was moving NW, "passing between the U.S. coast and Bermuda" but it was to early to say where it was going to land.

Hurricane Bill could make some serious rip tides and swells close to the U.S. coastline. Also some flooding could occur while Bill is making it's move towards land.

It is getting into hurricane season again and I am hoping we do not get hit because I don't know how we would recover from it. The economy is so bad right now that if we were to get hit by a hurricane, like Hurricane Charlie years ago, we would not recover as fast as we did then.
