Man, I would not want to be in Bermuda about now (Florence)
It's a good thing this isn't forecast to make landfall in the U.S. because for the last four days NOAA reports have been calling this storm "unusually large" even if it is only supposed to get up to CAT 2 or so. The last advisory brought the wind speed up as it's finally starting to organize in the center and get this -- tropical storm force winds are extending up to 345 miles (!!) from the center.

That means given the current path Bermuda's going to be getting a hosing for days on end.

Stay safe any DUers out there.

Not much to look at until the sun catches it in profile, but here's the latest pic:
