The Category 3 hurricane — packing maximum sustained winds of 125 mph — forced officials in Bermuda to issue a Hurricane Warning.

While the storm will weaken as it approaches, loss of life and property remains a genuine concern. Storm surge could top 10 feet at the shore, waves could climb above 20 feet and winds could surpass 100 mph.

It’s been a while since Bermuda has taken a hit as strong as this may be. Hurricane Fabian in 2003 brought winds to 120 mph and killed at least four people.
