Hamilton Hurricane Bermuda

Hurricane Nicole plowed directly into Bermuda on Thursday, causing widespread damage and knocking out power to most homes and businesses while apparently sparing the tiny Atlantic island chain any severe injuries or fatalities, government officials said.

Hurricane Gonzalo crushed trees, flattened power lines and damaged Bermuda's main hospital during an hours-long battering that was the second pummeling of the tiny British territory by a powerful storm in less than a week.

A powerful hurricane bore down on this tiny British territory early on Friday, threatening to batter Bermuda with dangerous winds and life-threatening storm surge.
