The much anticipated grand appearance of Hurricane Bill was not to be for those in New York.
Coastal cities prepared for what could come if Hurricane Bill were to make landfall by clearing the beaches of swimmers and taking other precautionary measures. The hurricane did leave an impression. Check out this image of Manhattan from a CNN iReporter:
Hurricane Bill Downgraded
Bill has now been downgraded to a Category 1 hurricane by the U.S. National Hurricane Center and is now visiting Canada’s coast. It is likely the hurricane will be downgraded again within the next 24 hours.
Hurricane season ends officially on November 30.
History has shown us that hurricanes can be very unpredictable. Their force can go from meek to furious in the span of 24 hours. It is always advised to be fully prepared for what may come if a hurricane is predicted to hit your area of the country. Don’t get caught without a plan.
