Former Hurricane Isaias Remnants Bring Hurricane-Force Winds to Iceland

An extratropical cyclone, formed from the remnants of Hurricane Isaias, has passed Iceland, generating hurricane-force winds. The system, which previously affected the U.S. Gulf Coast and Eastern Seaboard, produced gusts up to 205 kilometers per hour (128 miles per hour) near the Eyjafjallajökull volcano. This event demonstrates the long-range impact of tropical systems as they transition.
