Still Going - Epsilon - The Energizer Bunny Hurricane

[hatrack]

MIAMI - Stubborn Hurricane Epsilon clung to life in the Atlantic Ocean on Wednesday, days after forecasters predicted its demise.

The 26th storm of the record-breaking Atlantic hurricane season was no immediate threat to any land area but was still a hurricane with 75 mph (120 kph) winds.

At 10 a.m. (1500 GMT), Epsilon was about 875 miles (1,410 km) southwest of the Azores and was moving southwest at about 15 mph (24 kph), the US National Hurricane Center said.

The six-month hurricane season officially ended on Nov. 30, the day after Epsilon was born. Forecasters said Epsilon was expected to weaken in the next 24 hours.

1. As I recall, Wilma survived 50mph wind-shear.

That's not supposed to happen. Like a lot of other things.
