Storms and Floods

Rafael strengthens into a hurricane, with a tropical storm warning issued for Bermuda. Rafael is expected to bring rain to Atlantic Canada by mid-week.


Hurricane Paul is strengthening in the Pacific off Mexico and a tropical storm watch has been issued for a portion of Baja California.


Tropical storm Maria was located about 45 nm north-west of Iwo To, Japan.


The first tornado in decades has hit Rogers, Arkansas, USA.


A small tornado hit Mayfield, Kentucky, on Sunday evening.


Flood conditions continued in Nigeria in early October 2012. The country’s National Emergency Management Agency reported that floods had killed 431 people and displaced 1.3 million more. Floods had also wiped out 152,575 hectares (377,020 acres) of farmland, and Nigerians could expect rapidly rising food prices as a result.
