Flood warnings and watches were posted in several eastern US states where more heavy rainfall was forecast to reach accumulations of up to 25 centimetres in already saturated areas. Hurricane Joaquin, which has moved to the west of Bermuda over open ocean, is partially to blame for the rainfall, the weather service said. But the storm is expected to turn toward the north-northeast on Sunday and not ram the east coast of the United States. EPA/RICHARD ELLIS

O furacão ‘Joaquín’, de categoria quatro, dirigia-se este domingo para as Bermudas, depois de ter causado quatro mortos nos Estados Unidos.

Grande parte do sudeste dos Estados Unidos foi atingida esta noite por chuvas torrenciais provocadas pelo furacão ‘Joaquín’, que causou quatro mortos em território norte-americano, incluindo três na Carolina do Sul, segundo um balanço provisório citado pela agência francesa AFP.

O furação aumentou de intensidade no sábado, para a categoria quatro (numa escala até cinco), com ventos de até 240 quilómetros por hora.

Depois de ter passado pelas Bahamas e ter causado chuvas intensas no sul do Haiti e em Cuba, o ‘Joaquín’ estava às 22:00 de sábado (hora de Lisboa) a 800 quilómetros a sudoeste das Bermudas, segundo o Centro Nacional dos Furacões norte-americano (NHC, na sigla em inglês).

Este é o terceiro furacão da temporada no Atlântico – que dura entre Junho e Novembro – e o mais forte, pela força dos seus ventos.
