U.S.: Hurricane Earl is a pretty massive storm. Here’s proof.

  • 160,000 the number of square miles California covers source
  • » It’s going to nail a lot of places: The Outer Banks of North Carolina will get hit first by the Category 4 storm, but there are watches and warnings as far up the coast as Maine, and it looks like it’s on a relatively direct path towards Massachusetts, which just filed a hurricane warning.

World: Not just a Bill; the latest on the season’s biggest hurricane so far

  • It’s a Category 4 now. Hurricane Bill is by no means a joke, currently sporting 135mph winds in the middle of the Atlantic. While it poses no threat to the U.S. at the moment, authorities in Bermuda have told residents to keep an eye on it. Oil installations in the Gulf of Mexico are watching for both Bill and the remnants of Tropical Storm Ana, which could strengthen again and damage their always-booming business. source
