217 customers lose power as Hurricane Teddy passes close to Bermuda
Except for some
customers who lost power, Bermuda did not receive much damage when Hurricane
Teddy passed close to the island on Monday.
Teddy passed
130 miles to the east of the island as a category 1 hurricane, packing winds of
90 miles per hour. Although there has been some rain, no flooding has been
reported.
There were reports
of people losing electricity from as early as 4 a.m. By 2 p.m., there were about
217 customers without power. The central parish of Pembroke was the worst affected.
Teddy is now
heading into Canadian waters and is expected to bring rain and wind to parts of
Newfoundland and Labrador beginning on Tuesday.
Last week, Bermuda was hit by Hurricane Paulette. Luckily, there was no major damage.
