Weakened Hurricane Epsilon moves north over Atlantic Ocean
Read full article: Weakened Hurricane Epsilon moves north over Atlantic OceanMIAMI – A weakened Hurricane Epsilon moved northward Friday over the Atlantic Ocean, a day after after skirting well east of Bermuda. Epsilon's top sustained winds fell Thursday to 85 mph (140 kph), dropping it from a Category 2 to a Category 1 storm, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. But large ocean swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions along the coast of New England and Atlantic Canada during the next couple of days, the hurricane center warned. Earlier in the week, Epsilon had gained 50 mph (80 kph) in wind speed in just 24 hours to become a major hurricane on Wednesday. This year's season has had so many storms that the hurricane center has turned to the Greek alphabet after running out of official names.

But, the situation in the southern Caribbean has changed, and that allowed the Tropical Disturbance to maintain its own identity.

Elsewhere in the tropics, Saharan Dust continues to dominate the atmosphere, which means tropical development is not expected this week across the tropical Atlantic, the Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico. In South Florida, the broad Southeast low-pressure system is drawing up tropical moisture from the south, and is priming the atmosphere for some extra-heavy thunderstorms. Currently, the forecast shows a good chance of daily thunderstorms continuing at least until the middle of the week.

During the 1950s and 1960s, he supplemented his film work with frequent British TV roles, including two episodes of Doctor Who in 1966. Unless it was specified that this was a part for a Black actor, they would never consider a black actor for the part. I got mostly small parts, and that was extremely frustrating not just for me but for other Black actors. We had a very hard time getting worthwhile roles.In 1972, Cameron got to work alongside another Bahama-born actor who broke barriers for Black film actors.
