Hurricane Fabian, currently a Category 4 on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane strength scale, is projected to reach Bermuda by early Saturday, says the U.S. National Hurricane Center. They also predict Fabian will strengthen somewhat, leading to maximum sustained winds higher than 120 mph. They warn that large swells could affect Puerto Rico, and the Virgin and Northern Leeward Islands, and waves could hit the U.S. East Coast within two days. The Gulf Coast of Florida is under a tropical storm warning. This image was captured by The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aboard NASA's Terra satellite Sept. 3, 2003, just after noon local time. Credit: NASA MODIS Land Rapid Response Team.
