In the image above, tracts the likely path of Hurricane Igor. When first spotted is was classified as a Category 2 storm which means wind speed between 96-110 miles per hour which can cause 'moderate' damage. The storm is expected to hit late Sunday, but some predictions have the storm reaching Bermuda late Saturday. For the people living there, on vacation, or planning on vacationing there will need to take precautions. This is why it is important to know when storms are expected to hit so people know when and have enough time to prepare. Depending on the planned severity of the storm, evacuation might be necessary.
