Bermuda has been lashed by strong winds since the weekend from what been a near-stationary low-pressure area southwest of the island.

There have been intermittent power blackouts throughout the island, ferry services have been disrupted and the start of the island’s World Rugby Classic  had to be postponed on Sunday [Nov.6] after its National Sports Centre venue was hammered by high winds.
