Hurricane Bill is becoming huge and powerful

SHOOT: Bill is packing 100mph winds now, and is a category 2 storm. Minimal central pressure is 967 mb and movement is west-northwest at 17mph.

clipped from news.yahoo.com Bill was a large system, about 300 miles across, so Bermuda faces a potential threat even if the Atlantic island avoids a direct hit. "We are keeping an eye on it for sure," said Nick Camizzi a forecaster with the British territory's weather service. It was too soon to tell if Bill might threaten the eastern coast of the United States or how the storm would behave beyond the next four or five days. "The system is certainly large and eventually will be a powerful hurricane," said John Cangialosi, a meteorologist at the U.S. National Hurricane Center.
