(Reuters) -Franklin strengthened into a Category 4 hurricane on
Monday morning, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said in
its latest advisory.
Franklin was located about 490 miles (790 km) southwest of
Bermuda with maximum sustained winds nearing 130 mph (210 kph),
the Miami-based center said.
Franklin is expected to turn away from the U.S. eastern seaboard
in the early part of the week but pass near the island of
Bermuda on Wednesday, an NHC map shows.
