Over at Reuters an article about the tropical storm Fabian. It’s slowly (or fast) making progress towards Bermuda, possibly threatening the island.
However, the whole article is written in the past tense and for that reason it’s weird to read. For example:
“Fabian carried 120 mph winds and was likely to strengthen in the next two days, forecasters at the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.”
“The government of Bermuda was likely to issue a hurricane watch on Thursday, alerting the colony’s 62,000 residents to possible storm conditions within 36 hours, the hurricane center said.”
Trust me: at this moment, the storm has not even arrived at Bermuda.
