BERMUDAHurricane Florence hits Hurricane Florence blew out windows, peeled away the roofs of at least three houses and knocked out power to thousands in Bermuda before churning past the wealthy British islandchain and heading out over open ocean. As the whirling eye of the storm traveled away from the archipelago of tiny islands, the winds and sea water surge tapered off. Authorities reported few minor injuries and no deaths. The government discontinued its tropical storm warning Sept. 11. Florence was a Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds near 137 kph. At least 18,000 homes and businesses were without power Sept. 11, according to Bermuda's electric company.
