That ocean storm east of Europe is a monster and I think it's going to absorb Gordon after it moves through the Azores:

A double recruve!

Wouldn't it be amazing if somehow Gordon didn't become ExtraTropical and recurved again to the west? Then North America has to watch it again!

Situation at 6 AM
Strangely enough, KNMI's models don't show Gordon hitting either Spain or Portugal. Instead, they think the remains of Gordon will nearly miss the North-western part of Spain and that they will move into the Bay of Biscay. It will then hit the North-western part of France (Bretagne) and move a bit to the North-east.

I don't see anything strange in the KNMI maps. All models are in good agreement now.
Latest report from Santa Maria, Azores:
METAR LPAZ 200800Z 23049G71KT 1000 +SHRA SCT006 SCT012 FEW015CB BKN030 22/22 Q0991=
Sustained wind (10 minutes) 49 knots, and gusts 71 knots, from SW. The center of Gordon must be just north of this station. Station Ponta Delgada (on the Sao Miguel island) already had winds from the north:

Portugal's Azores Islands feel little of Hurricane Gordon
The Associated Press
Published: September 19, 2006
PONTA DELGADA, Azores Islands Authorities in Portugal's Azores Islands said they received no reports of major damage or injury as weakened Hurricane Gordon passed the mid-Atlantic group of islands Tuesday night.
Gordon lost strength and veered slightly south as it approached the sparsely populated islands, bringing only light rain and a moderate wind, Ricardo Barros, vice president of the Azores Civil Protection Service, said.
"There's been nothing unusual so far," Barros said.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami discontinued its hurricane warning for most of the nine islands. It said Gordon was just barely a hurricane with top sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph). A storm is considered a hurricane with 74 mph (119 kph) winds.
The Civil Protection Service took most of its staff off standby but maintained its high alert status on two islands, Sao Miguel and Santa Maria.
Gordon was passing directly over Sao Miguel, the largest island with about 140,000 inhabitants, and close to Santa Maria, weather services said.
In Santa Maria, there was a power outage in some parts of the island and a few trees fell blocking some roads, Civil Protection said.
"The island is suffering the effects of the depression right now but no major problems have been reported," Civil Protection officer Pedro Carvalho said, adding the storm was expected to pass by 1100 GMT.
The islands lie about 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) off the west coast of Europe.
Portugal's Meteorological Institute on Tuesday issued a red alert, which denotes extreme risk, amid fears of winds gusting up to 170 kph (105 mph) and waves up to 12 meters (40 feet) high.
Authorities advised people to stay indoors and ordered the cancellation of school classes Wednesday as a precaution.
TAP airline also cancelled its morning Azores bound flight from Lisbon.
