As of now, 9.15, Igor is not threatening any land mass other than Bermuda, where it could be very serious. The TerryReport will stop folowing Igor for the time being, but check back if it starts to threaten the US, We will provide updates and, if required, direct coverage from the hurricane zone. Thanks.

FIVE DAY FORECAST PATH OF IGOR

This is the 5:00 AM advisory (9.15.10) from the National Hurricane Center. Come back soon for further details and updates. The TerryReport will be following hurricane Igor as it tracks northward.. The current track iis what might be called the standard track for most Atlantic hurricanes which often takes them northward into colder waters where they die a natural death due to the lack of feed from the warmer waters to the south.
