Wikipedia dixit:
“Hurricane Nicole is currently a strong tropical cyclone moving away from the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda. It is the first major hurricane to directly impact or make landfall on the island since Hurricane Fabian in 2003. The fourteenth named storm, sixth hurricane and third major hurricane of the active 2016 Atlantic hurricane season, Nicole formed in the central Atlantic on October 4. The small, slow-moving storm defied forecasts by steadily organizing in spite of strong wind shear, and it rapidly intensified to a Category 2 hurricane on October 7. The wind shear finally took its toll by October 8, reducing Nicole to a weak tropical storm, but more favorable conditions allowed the cyclone to reintensify into a hurricane a couple days later. The storm’s approach to Bermuda forced schools, businesses, and government offices to close, while flight, bus, and ferry services were interrupted. On October 13, the eye of Category 3 Hurricane Nicole passed over Bermuda, producing damaging winds.”
