Tropical strom Nicole no longer a Hurricane
While Hurricane Matthew continues to ruthlessly crush everything in its wake, adding up to futher unease of the civilians was the news of appreace of a newly identified tropical storm from south of Bermuda on Thursday. The storm, with maximum sustained wind blowing at the speed of 105 mph, was identified as hurricane by National Hurricane Centre on Thursday afternoon.
Both of the north Atlantic storm, as reported by Gizmodo on Thursday, set up a new record. "It marked the latest in the calendar year that two storms in the North Atlantic Ocean have had winds over 105 mph simultaneously", the website was found to report NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre's explanation as to how both the Atlantic storm combined was all set to create a history.
However, following the script of weather forecasters and experts, the tropical storm was degraded from hurricane status and is said to be "moving slowly" as of Sunday.
Rousing concerns that the storm might meet up Hurricane Mathew along the Atlantic, creating a potential disastrous Fujiwara Effect as reported by WPTV were also downplayed following the subsequent weakening of the tropical storm Nicole.
As of now the storm is stationary with wind blowing at the rate of 60 miles per hour as mentioned on Weather Channel. Further forecast of the storm includes its movement northwards soon and the expected looming presence over Bermuda for at least next five days.
Hurricane Mathew, meanwhile continues to wreak havoc as it moves across eastern North Carolina. According to a report in Reuters, the hurricane has killed over 800 people in Haiti alone, with the count of those fatally affected mounting across Carolina and Georgia.
