Share
From Times Wire Reports

Bermuda issued a hurricane warning and residents rushed to prepare as the storm named Fabian churned toward them with 120-mph winds. Forecasters warned islanders to protect “life and property” from the Category 3 storm, expected to hit by late today. Several cruise ships that were docked in Bermuda left early, and others were taking different routes to avoid the storm. All of today’s flights to Bermuda were canceled.

Forecasters said Fabian could knock some buildings off their foundations, damage crops and cause widespread flooding and erosion.
