Hurricane Gordon Aiming for Azores

Hurricane Gordon is headed for the Azores islands, and the Portuguese government has maintained a hurricane warning for the eastern islands.

Previously they had released one for the entire island chain.

Gordon is currently a category two hurricane, with sustained winds over one hundred miles per hour.

It is expected to lose some of it's power by the time it hit's the islands, but latest readings have it showing off wind gusts as high as one hundred and twenty-five miles per hour.

The western and central islands will still see high surf, winds, and heavy rains.

Landfall should happen around ten pm local time.
