Hurricane Gonzalo crushed trees, flattened power lines and damaged Bermuda’s main hospital in an hours-long battering but the tiny, wealthy British territory suffered no deaths.
The storm’s centre crossed over Bermuda on Friday night and Gonzalo quickly moved northward over the Atlantic on a track that could take it just off the shore of Newfoundland in Canada.
“This was a dangerous hurricane, but Bermuda today is dealing with property damage, blocked roads and a loss of electricity, all things that can be replaced and restored,” said Premier Michael Dunkley. “Thankfully, there has been no loss of life.”
He said the US, UK and others had offered assistance.
