Quote: Hello! My name is Josef, am portuguese and live in Oporto-Portugal. A few minutes ago i see in cable tv an information about a possible hurricane "Vince" here in Portugal. Someone tel me if itīs possible? And, if "Vince" toutch Portugal what are the consequenses, because Portugal donīt have a history of this kind of problems. Sorry my english. Thanks.
Josef, Well, it's hard to say because it's never happened before, at least not in recorded history. Based upon the satellite images, Vince is a very tiny hurricane so the area of impact will likely be relatively small, and the storm SHOULD weaken - the water in the northeast Atlantic just isn't warm enough to support tropical storms or hurricanes. Of course, neither is the water of the southwest Atlantic, where there was an unnamed hurricane in 2004. Heck, this year has just been so strange. My best advice would be to pay attention to the local weather people.
By the way folks.... it looks like STD 22 may yet live again....

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center
