Rare Hurricane To Make Landfall in Brazil !
Contrary to what other news sources have been reporting, the rare hurricane in the Southern Atlantic has NOT made landfall Saturday and is still off the coast of southern Brazil. AccuWeather believes the hurricane will make landfall near Torres on the coast of southern Brazil within the next 24 hours, most likely during the wee hours of Sunday morning, local time. Torres is a small town right on the coast, separating the states of Rio Grande do Sul to the south and Santa Catarina to the north.
The exact strength of the hurricane is unknown, but based on satellite data and the presence of a well-defined eye, it is at least a Category 1 hurricane. A typical Category 1 hurricane causes winds of 74-95 mph and a storm surge of 4-5 feet.
