Igor is a weakening storm (cat 1) with a massive windfield and the cental pressue of a major. As Bermuda takes buiding codes seriously wind damage should be minor. Now surge may cause some damages.

I never paid much attention to Bermuda. Is it a tourist resort type area or is it more of a private type Island just for the local people.

I assume it has an airport for the learjet crowd. Sounds like it could be a Grand Cayman type Island.

Bermuda is still a British Colony.

After friends went to Canada, to work, one winter I passed a personal rule, no travel outside the United States. Do an ROI calculation first, then give traveling outside the ConUS additional thought.

Bermuda whilst a country in it's own right , is in fact still a colony of The United Kingdom.

Bermuda is actually a string of 123 different islands, of which 20 are only inhabited.

Of the 120 islands not inhabited are a virtual no man's land and have long held horrific tales of piracy , some tales are even of the current tense.

The US consulate has 9 ft. barbed wire fences and blast proof windows and concrete barricades and most recently was the site in which 2 Guantanamo detainees which could get no country to accept them were dumped on Bermuda.

Bermuda does have an International airport complete with US Customs and a TSA outpost.

Surprisingly ,

 

The US is the dominant force in Bermuda and import /export over 85 % of all of Bermuda's Gross Domestic Product, with the UK having almost no Actual control over the Bermudan Government and in all actuality, A British Colony in name only.
