Bermuda braces for date with Hurricane Nicole

Hurricane Nicole, brandishing 115mph sustained winds, will make
a direct hit on Bermuda by midday Thursday, forecasters at the US
National Hurricane Center said today.
Nicole may arrive as a Category 2 hurricane, with winds of up to
110mph, according to AIR Worldwide in Boston. It said passenger
flights, busses and ferry services have been suspended.
But the modelling firm said most buildings on the island are
designed to withstand the force of winds brought by a storm like
Nicole....
