HAMILTON Bermuda (Reuters) - Power was out for nearly 30,000 customers in Bermuda, and many roads were impassable on Saturday after Hurricane Gonzalo pummeled the island with rain and howling winds through the night, but there were no reports of serious injuries or deaths.
The strongest storm to sweep the subtropical British territory in a decade whipped Bermuda with maximum sustained winds of around 110 mph (175 kph) as it made landfall Friday night, forecasters said, with hurricane force winds extending up to 60 miles (95 km) from its center.
