Hmm, 10% chance of formation, not exactly "expected to become a hurricane".

The pressure seems kind of high for a Cat 3 storm. This thing was only supposed to be a Cat 1 storm. Feel bad for people in Bermuda...

Tropical Update:

Within the last two hours, the storm rapidly intensified gaining 10MPH sustained winds and losing 16MB of pressure. The storm will continue strengthening until Thursday morning and maybe a chance of a Cat 5. Going to be real close to Bermuda.

On the plus side, because of Bermuda's tiny size, the chance of a direct landfall is pretty low. However, the island is projected to be on the right-hand side of Gonzalo, which is the more intense side of a Northern Hemisphere cyclone.

On the other hand because of it's size that makes it more prone to trouble Especially with a large and powerful system like Gonzalo. But yeah, usually only around the eye is the worst.
Other areas can handle some flooding and wind damage.

Here's a current Satellite view. No chance for East coast threat since there's a huge system over the Ohio Valley and a strong front moving off shore now.
