Looks like Bermuda is going to get hammered. The island is on the worst
side of the storm for winds. Gonzo due to Gonzalo.

They are pretty used to these kinds of things. Most hurricanes that
miss Florida or the Gulf states, hit them.
Fortunately that is a volcanic island with some elevation (over 200
feet at the high points) so it is not like Florida and the Keys where
most stuff is less than 20' ASL and you have to get to mouse land to
get 40'ASL



True, but because of the elevation the winds tend to be much stronger.
