Tropische storm Philippe boven Cuba, zet koers naar Florida
Boven Cuba heeft zich zaterdagnamiddag de tropische storm Philippe gevormd, die vooral het centrum en het westen van het land teisterde met zware regenval en aanhoudende windsnelheden van 65 kilometer per uur. Philippe zet nu koers richting de eilandengroep Florida Keys en het zuiden van de staat Florida.Belga
zo 29 okt 02:24Om 20 uur lokale tijd (02.00 uur Belgische tijd) bevond het centrum van Philippe zich op ongeveer 80 kilometer ten noorden van de hoofdstad Havana en op 120 kilometer ten zuidwesten van Key West. De tropische storm trekt noordwaarts met een snelheid van 45 kilometer per uur. Momenteel is een stormwaarschuwing van kracht in vijf Cubaanse provincies (Isla de la Juventud, Havana, Matanzas, Cienfuegos en Villa Clara) en op het noordwesten van de Bahama's. Philippe zet nu koers richting de Florida Keys en de centrale eilanden van de Bahama's. Op het vasteland zal ook het zuiden van de staat Florida het te verduren krijgen. Het Amerikaanse orkaancentrum NHC waarschuwt er in stedelijke gebieden voor stortvloeden door de zware regenval. Daarnaast zijn in de loop van de avond "korte tornado's" mogelijk in Zuid-Florida en op de Florida Keys. De regio werd tijdens het orkaanseizoen al zwaar getroffen door orkaan Irma.

Tropical Storm Philippe: Storm spawns 2 tornados as it brings wind and rain to New York
TROPICAL Storm Philippe spawned two tornadoes over the weekend damaging homes and power lines as the fierce winds and rains now head for New York.The National Weather Service confirmed one tornado touched down at the South Parry Trailer Village mobile home park near Boynton Beach’s northwest side.
The other landed in West Palm Beach at Forest Hill Boulevard and Interstate 95, with winds estimated to be 75 to 80 mph.
The blustery gales downed a number of power lines, leaving nearly a quarter of a million people without electricity
And several mobile homes in Boynton Beach were also damaged in the storm as it hit on Saturday, with fire crews called to reports of damaged homes inside Parry Trailer Village.
High levels of rain continued across the region on Sunday as the storm merged with a low pressure system from the Great Lakes.
The storm formed near western Cuba a few days ago, according to the National Hurricane Centre.
By Sunday, Storm Philipe was racing up the Atlantic Ocean off the East Coast, moving away from Florida at about 31 mph, with sustained winds of about 50 mph.
And it is expected to track up the east coast, producing high wind and rain for parts of eastern New York and New England late Sunday into Monday.
Tropical Storm Philippe is currently accelerating away from Florida, according to the NOAA’s latest update.
Wind speeds have picked up to 50mph and the storm is now moving northeast at 32mph.
The NOAA’s 8am advisory warned that Philippe is still producing tropical storm conditions across the northwestern Bahamas.
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts,” the NOAA said.
“Some additional slight strengthening is forecast during the next day or so.
“However, Philippe is expected to become a post-tropical cyclone by tonight, and be absorbed by an extratropical low on Monday.”

About 45 million people in the Northeast are currently under a Flash Flood Watch as the storm is expected to drench parts of the US with average rainfall totals of four to six inches.
Up to 10 inches is also expected in isolated areas of the Northeast and New England.c
The storm comes five years after Superstorm Sandy hit New Jersey and New York.
CNN meteorologist Karen Maginnis said: ”This is not going to be the equivalent of Sandy.
“We would hardly see that or expect anything like that, but we are expecting very some very gusty winds, heavy downpours, considerable power outages.”
