MIAMI, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Hurricane Nadine swirled east of
Bermuda over the open Atlantic Ocean on Saturday and forecasters
said it posed no threat to land or to U.S. energy interests in
the Gulf of Mexico.

Nadine, the eighth hurricane of the Atlantic season, formed
on Friday night.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center said the cyclone was
packing top sustained winds of 80 miles (130 km) per hour late
Saturday morning.

It was located about 880 miles (1,420 km) east of Bermuda
and moving east-northeast at 15 mph (24 kph), the Miami-based
hurricane center said.
