Hurricane Bill

UPDATE: MIAMI (Reuters) - Hurricane Bill headed west-northwest over the open Atlantic Tuesday on a path toward Bermuda that would likely keep it clear of the U.S. East Coast but could spell trouble for Canada's Maritime Provinces.
Bill's top winds grew to 105 miles per hour (170 km per hour) and the Category 2 storm was expected to become a "major" Category 3 hurricane in the near future, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
The Atlantic season's first hurricane posed no threat to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil-producing area, but its curving path was expected to take it just west of Bermuda, a mid-Atlantic British territory and reinsurance capital, by Saturday
