We were very fortunate. Found this from Weather Underground, wonder how wide the eye wall was to hit us as hard as it did:

Hurricane Humberto, the second major hurricane of the 2019 Atlantic season, roared past Bermuda Wednesday night as a Category 3 storm with 120 mph winds. The powerful right-front eyewall of Humberto battered Bermuda with sustained winds well in excess of hurricane force as the eye passed 75 miles to the north of Bermuda near 8 pm EDT.

Jerry is currently forecasted to be much closer at 59nm to the north west of us at its closest approach, albeit as a much weaker storm, thankfully. Be safe Bermuda!

Despite the fact that the barometer had steadied and was rising at 8.15pm the worst was from approx 8.20 to 8.50
That southeast quadrant was a nasty little thing .
Still , how far was the eye wall away from us , does anyone know ?
