The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this natural-color image of Hurricane Gonzalo at 12:45 p.m. Atlantic Daylight Time (1745 Universal Time) on October 16, 2014. At the time, the category 4 hurricane had sustained winds of 125 knots (145 miles or 230 kilometers per hour) and a central pressure of 942 millibars.

Bermuda, which took a partial hit on October 12 from Tropical Storm Fay, has only seen 10 hurricane centers pass within 120 kilometers (75 miles) since 1899, according to The Weather Channel. The last major hurricane to strike Bermuda was Fabian in September 2003. That storm brought 190 kilometer (120 mile) per hour winds and a 3-meter (10-foot) storm surge.
Long-range forecasts for Gonzalo show the storm staying at hurricane force as far north as 50° latitude and brushing the edges of Nova Scotia. Meteorologists in Great Britain anticipated heavy rainfall and winds by October 20, when remnants of Gonzalo were expected to reach that island.Relevantní obrázky
