Tropical Storm Bonnie 2010

Tropical Storm Bonnie 2010:Hurricane Bonnie Heading Miami? – A tropical depression is heading toward the oil spill. Rain and lightning from tropical depression Bonnie have been making their way through the southern Bahamas on Thursday, and if the storm continues on its current path, it will directly hit the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Forecasters for the US National Hurricane Center in Miami have said that the storm system caused some flooding in Puerto Rico, and in the Dominican Republic.It could potentially become a tropical storm by the time it reaches the Gulf of Mexico, which is predicted to happen on Saturday.
The center said that the tropical depression had maximum sustained winds over around 35 miles per hour, which were accompanied by stronger gusts. Hopefully the storm will take a turn before it hits the Gulf of Mexico, but it does not look like that’s going to happen.

“There’s definitely some lightning and thunder out there,” said Johanny Lightbourne, a manager at a market. “But it’s still business as usual, pretty much.”

Businesses have not been greatly affected as of yet, but if the storm continues to pick up steam, it could potentially become a problem. The skies are completely dark in the stormy areas, and rain continuously pours.
Residents in the southeastern Bahamas had to deal with heavy rain and lots of lighting.

No damages or injuries have been reported at this time, but officials at the Emergency Operations Center said that they would be heading to the area with supplies to hand out and ensure that everyone has what they need to survive.
