Hurricane Bill Update 06:30 AM EDT Saturday, August 22, 2009

Hurricane Bill continues on it’s generally northerly track. The storm has been changing intensity between Category 3 and Category 2 strength for the past 12 hours. The storm is currently due west of Bermuda and will be moving more to the north-northeast later today into Sunday. Persons along the entire east coast of the US can continue to expect extremely high surf with deadly rip currents, beach errosion and lowlands flooding. We are renewing our caution for beachgoers to stay out of the water!

Unless Hurricane Bill makes an unexpected track change, this will be our final Hurricane Bill unofficial update.
