Tropical Storm Harvey Leaving Bermuda

Friday August 5, 2005

Bermudans cheer as Tropical Storm Harvey begins to pull away from Bermuda, as shown in the GOES-9 satellite image.

Harvey now makes its way northeast through the Atlantic Ocean at about 14 miles per hour with sustained wind gusts of 65 miles per hour.

Although Harvey is peeling away from the coast, 2005 continues to be one of the busiest storm seasons on record. The storm forecast has recently been updated and predicts 18-21 storms by the end of November.

The National Hurricane Center does not predict the formation of any more tropical storms in the near future. Some of the other names to look forward to this season are Katrina, Nate, Ophelia, Tammy, and Vince.
