Do you want the video to start automatically?

Vacationers and islanders in Bermuda braced for whatever Tropical Storm Leslie will bring their way. The system is expected to skirt the British territory, 600 miles off the coast of North Carolina.

"It appears that Bermuda will be spared a direct impact," said Wayne Perinchief, Bermuda's national security minister. "However, I urge the public to remain cautious as there is the potential for the storm to re-intensify and change track, and we could experience heavy rain and winds in shower bands."
