MIAMI.- The National Hurricane Center issued its latest bulleting on Tropical Storm Erika, located at 16.5N Latitude, 59.5 W  Longitude, around 400 miles east of the Leeward Islands, moving west-northwest at 15 kilometers per hour, which places its projected track closer to scraping the country’s northeast coast.

“Disorganized Erika approaching the Leeward Islands…a little weaker. A tropical storm warning is in effect for Antigua, Barbuda, Montserrat, St Kitts & Nevis, Anguill, St Maarten Saba and St Eustatius,” the NHC said.

Locally, the National Meteorology Office said Erika is expected to affect the Dominican Northeast on Friday.

It’s really distressing to think, but the 2009 Hurricane Season is not over yet. There are still tropical storms forming, and one of the few active systems is Hurricane Erika, or Tropical Storm Erika. Hurricane Erika is currently sulking about the southern Caribbean, close to the Leeward Islands, part of the Lesser Antilles chain. Hopefully, Hurricane Erika will die off before making landfall or head farther out to sea – as it takes more than payday loans from http://personalmoneystore.com/Payday-Loans/no-Fax-Payday-Loans/ to clean up hurricane damage.
