Omar strengthens into Category 3 hurricane
WASHINGTON, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Hurricane Omar strengthened into a Category 3 storm on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane intensity on Wednesday as it headed toward Puerto Rico and the small islands of the northeastern Caribbean, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
The storm had sustained winds of 115 miles per hour (185 km per hour) as it churned about 30 miles (45 km) southeast of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Miami-based hurricane center said. (Editing by Mohammad Zargham)
