MIAMI (AP) - As Hurricane Floyd pounded the Carolinas Thursday, Hurricane Gert whipped up 145 mph winds about 2,200 miles from the East Coast. Gert - the fourth Category 4 hurricane of the Atlantic season - was about 630 miles east of the Leeward Islands and traveling northeast of Floyd's path on a track that should curve it east of Bermuda. Gert was about 350
miles wide and could grow as the storm enters the same atmospheric conditions of weak upper-level winds and warm ocean temperatures that produced Floyd's huge proportions, National Hurricane Center meteorologist Chris Robbins said.
