Photos & Videos: Idalia Impacts Bermuda
Post-Tropical Cyclone Idalia made its presence felt in Bermuda today [Sept 2], unleashing windy weather and causing disruptions across the island, with power outages, suspended transportation services, and cancelled flights.
As of 8.00pm this evening, the weather conditions have mostly abated and the Tropical Storm Warning has been cancelled. BELCO have already restored power to thousands of people and at last check, have a total of 1,201 customers without power. which represents roughly 3.3% of their customers.
The gusty conditions prompted the suspension of bus and ferry services today, and all inbound and outbound flights between Bermuda and North America [Canada/US] were cancelled/delayed for today.
Most times we rightly jump to support and thank BELCO. This time I think we are all saying, how did they mess this up so badly, a minor tropical storm. Feels like they need to up their game on the trimming.
Those trees do not belong to BELCO. They belong to the land owner.
