Lots of storms but little danger on land
Florence passed just west of Bermuda, but still brought 80 mph winds to the island. (How could she miss?) She's now an intense extratropical storm bringing high winds and plenty of rain to Newfoundland.
The next storms are already lining up in the Atlantic, which has suddenly become very busy, but most of these storms are forming well to the east, and without the strong Bermuda High that we had last year, these storms will all turn north well east of North America. We already have Hurricane Gordon going to pass Bermuda well to the east. (A lot smaller than Florence, isn't he?) Then just past the Cape Verde Islands, we have TD 8, which will probably be Tropical Storm Helene by tonight or tomorrow, but which you can see is already getting ready to turn north, and will end up being further out to sea than either Florence or Gordon.
The only current threat to land anywhere in the world is from Typhoon Shanshan which will threaten the Ryukyu Islands, and possibly Taiwan.
