Rough surf batters Bermuda as Hurricane Nigel charges through open waters

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Forecasters in Bermuda are warning of dangerous swells and rip currents as Hurricane Nigel spun through open waters in the northern Atlantic. The Category 1 hurricane was located about 650 miles (1,045 kilometers) east-northeast of Bermuda. It had maximum sustained winds of 90 mph (150 kph) and was moving north at 18 mph (30 kph). Bermuda has felt the brunt of three storms in the past month, although none have been a direct hit. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Nigel has likely reached peak intensity and is expected to start weakening later Wednesday.
