✅ Hurricane Erin is passing to our west and bringing strong winds and heavy rain. If you haven’t already, be sure to unplug any appliances, electronics, or other sensitive equipment and make sure everything is out of the path of potential sources of water, like leaks and floods.
[ August 21, 2025 | 8:45am ]
💨🌴 Be storm smart! Make sure you unplug any appliances, electronics, or other sensitive equipment before the onset of high winds. While plug-in surge protectors protect against common, small surges, unplugging is the safest bet for lightning surges that may occur during a storm.

🌀 As of 12pm today, Bermuda Weather Service (BWS) has shared that a Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for Hurricane Erin, which is still categorised as A Potential Threat to Bermuda.
