Hurricane Bill causes problems in Bermuda
HAMILTON, Bermuda — Hurricane Bill scattered palm tree debris, coral and pink sand across Bermuda roads Saturday, causing sporadic electrical outages and some minor flooding on the island but no major damage.
Bill had winds of 105 mph as it skirted Bermuda and squeezed between the island and the East Coast of the U.S. The storm brought heavy bands of rain and big waves to Bermuda, stirring its typically crystal clear waters.
Residents along the East Coast were warned about high surf and rip currents.
A tropical storm warning was in place for parts of Massachusetts, and forecasters said the storm could regain intensity over open waters this weekend.
In Bermuda, the storm mostly spared the pink shores. Residents and tourists awoke to some water on the roads, rain and gusting winds.
