MT5 Trade Copier is Coming This Week
[Daily article] October 12: Hurricane Gonzalo
Category 4 Atlantic hurricane since Hurricane Ophelia in 2011. It made
landfall on Antigua, Saint Martin, and Anguilla as a Category 1
hurricane. Antigua and Barbuda sustained US$40 million in losses, and
three people died on Saint Martin and Saint Barthélemy. Gonzalo
intensified into a major hurricane, peaking on October 16 with maximum
sustained winds of 145 mph (230 km/h). It struck Bermuda less than a
week after the surprisingly fierce Hurricane Fay; the 2014 Atlantic
hurricane season was the first in recorded history with two hurricane
landfalls in Bermuda. Gonzalo battered the island with wind gusts as
high as 144 mph (232 km/h), downing hundreds of trees and causing
widespread roof damage and power outages, but no deaths or serious
injuries were reported. A large storm system from the remnants of
Gonzalo battered the British Isles and central Europe on October 21,
killing three people in the United Kingdom.

Wikiquote quote of the day:
To practice black magic you have to violate every principle of
science, decency, and intelligence. You must be obsessed with an insane
idea of the importance of the petty object of your wretched and selfish
desires. I have been accused of being a "black magician." No more
foolish statement was ever made about me. I despise the thing to such an
extent that I can hardly believe in the existence of people so debased
and idiotic as to practice it.
