Bermuda braces for hit from 'Nicole,' a Cat 3 Hurricane
Heavy wind and rain began battering Bermuda late Wednesday as the British territory braced itself for Hurricane Nicole, which became a major Category 3 storm as it tracked toward the tiny island in the northern Atlantic Ocean. The US National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm is expected to pass near or over Bermuda on Thursday morning. The storm could strengthen even more as it approaches Bermuda, forecasters said. While Bermuda has sturdy infrastructure and is accustomed to storms, government officials urged people to prepare for the hurricane and remain indoors on Wednesday and Thursday. American Airlines and Air Canada are among several that have canceled flights to the island, and several cruise ships have cancelled trips as well.<br/>
