Igor kicks up dangerous surf along US East Coast



Hurricane Igor produced dangerous surf along the eastern U.S seaboard. The hurricane knocked out the power t0 half of the population in Bermuda. This hurricane has already killed 3 people that were near or in the water. The Hurricane had winds that clocked in at about 120kmh. The storm toppled trees and utility poles and it also moved several boats in-land including a ferry. The hurricane is currently moving toward Newfoundland at around 44mph. A tropical storm warning has been put out for the cost of newfoundland.

During a hurricane you really want to use common sense and stay out of the water. Make sure you are prepared when you are notified about a natural disaster. You want to make sure you have lots of food and water because the town you are living in is most likely going to be flooded. It also would be a good idea to get a generator, some flash lights, batteries and maybe a propane stove for cooking and heat. Be prepared when you know a disaster is coming your way.
