Tropical storm bonnie 2010


Tropical storm bonnie 2010

A recently formed tropical depression hit Bahamas on Thursday and is reportedly headed to the oil spill area of the Gulf of Mexico as Tropical Storm Bonnie 2010 is forming and may be complete later in the day.

Maximum sustained winds of near 35 mph were registered at the center of the depression just a few minutes ago.

The skies went completely dark during the storm in Bahamas and Turks and Caicos, as rain fell all over the islands.

The storm system has already caused flood damage in Haiti, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico where a 14-year-old boy lost his life by drowning in a swollen river. In Dominican Republic around 500 people had to be evacuated while the flood destroyed several rice fields.
