Tropical Storm Center
In the Eastern side of the Caribbean Sea, the Omar Tropical Storm is coming close to having the strength of a hurricane.
It formed Tuesday and it was expected to bring heavy rain over the Netherlands Antilles. The National Hurricane Center described the storm’s evolution and direction, from S-W of San Juan, Puerto Rico towards Curacao.
What most makes it look like a hurricane is the wind speed of almost 70mph, whereas the one of a Class 1 hurricane is of 74mph, and if things go on like this, Omar will become one on Wednesday.
The National Hurricane Centre has issued warnings for Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands, St. Kitts, Nevis, Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Maarten, St. Martin and St. Barthelemy.
