Tropical Storm Chris Heading Toward Turks And Caicos

Friday, August 4th, 2006 Catastrophe Property

Tropical Storm Chris was headed for the Turks and Caicos on Friday as it pushed across the eastern Caribbean, scattering rain over Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands but no longer posing a hurricane threat to the region. At 5 a.m. ET, the storm had maximum sustained winds of nearly 40 mph, just above the threshold for a tropical storm. The center of the storm, which was expected to weaken to a tropical depression Friday, was about 45 miles south-southeast of Grand Turk Island in the southwestern Bahamas.
