No sooner had Hurricane Paulette struck Bermuda with her eye remaining directly over the Island for about 3 hours of eerily calm silence, than we now have another hurricane, this time Hurricane Teddy labelled as a threat to Bermuda.  Just a couple of days ago it was forecast that Teddy was a Cat 4 hurricane and appeared to be on almost a direct course to Bermuda, but this afternoon (18th September) we were advised that he is now forecast to be  a Cat 2 storm by the time if reaches the area of Bermuda, and that it  is also now forecast to be heading just over 100 miles to our east and that we will likely receive tropical storm force winds rather than hurricane force winds.
