Omar, and tigers and bears, OH MY!

Tropical Storm Omar nears hurricane strength in the south central Caribbean. Omar is now taking a more northeasterly track, and a Hurricane Watch is now in effect for Sint Eustatius, indicating that hurricane conditions are expected within the next 36 hours, with weather conditions expected to deteriorate in advance of that time and tropical storm conditions being likely. A further advisory will be posted in the morning. Caution is advised in relation to this rapidly developing weather system, noting its unusual track....moving north and east. What?
