Live footage recorded from the Port Bermuda Webcam as Tropical Storm Gabrielle thrashes the Royal Naval Dockyard Bermuda with strong winds and driving surf just after 7pm local time. Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Dawn cruise ship opted to stay in port for the night rather than venture out to sea.
Live webcam coverage was rolling as Willy & Team battled the wind and waves at Heritage Wharf in Bermuda during the departure of NORWEGIAN DAWN on 9/10/2013.
The departure was eventually aborted due to unsafe weather conditions.

Falling asleep Was the best thing we ever did We slumbered under thunder As it rained down upon this This boat that we made With our bare hands a’shaking Now the blue canvas above us Has no shades to haunt it Onwards I ran To see where my feet hit the land We were stranded on an island shore With warm white sheets of sand We must have gone mad Minutes ago we were washed with sad It’s sad if we are still unconscious And this is a vision we had Maybe we never woke up If so then we better not, never Cause conscious is lonely But here we can be alone Maybe we never woke up If so then we better not, never Cause conscious is lonely But here we can be alone There’s sun, and broken bottles Holding smiles like role models Stumbling round (down and round) And we are falling off cliffs Because cheap thrills are big hits Somehow, somehow Maybe we never woke up If so then we better not, never Cause conscious is lonely But here we can be alone Maybe we never woke up If so then we better not, never Cause conscious is lonely But here we can be alone Somewhere I’m awake And can’t deal with or take it Maybe we never woke up If so then we better not, never Cause onscious is lonely But here we can be alone Maybe we never woke up If so then we better not, never Cause conscious is lonely But here we can be alone
This is the LiveStream page for the Nonsuch Island Cahow Cam Project. This project will provide live streaming from the nesting burrows of the Cahow. The Cahow Recovery Project is a long-term management, research and recovery programme aimed at reducing threats to the National Bird of Bermuda, the Cahow or Bermuda petrel (Pterodroma cahow). It also aims to promote the recovery of this endemic species, which is now one of the rarest seabirds on Earth and is completely unique to the island.

The latest forecast from the Bermuda Weather Service (BWS) shows that Leslie remains a Tropical Storm. However, the latest information from the Bermuda Weather Service (BWS), in consultation with the National Hurricane Centre in Miami, is that Leslie is expected to intensify into a Category 1 Hurricane as it passes Bermuda within the next 24 hours.
Sept 7 – Leslie is weakening, after days of stalling and slow movement in the Atlantic ocean. Nevertheless, the storm is expected to re-attain hurricane status as it passes Bermuda, and the island is currently under a Tropical Storm Watch.
=====
Leslie intensified into a hurricane Sept 5 while edging its way northward in the open Atlantic, on a direct path for Bermuda. Leslie is expected to become a Category 2 storm.
Tropical storm force winds are expected Sunday morning, with storm to possibly hurricane force gusts Sunday morning through afternoon. Hazardous surf and rip currents continue through Sunday

Sept 5
Leslie intensified into a hurricane today whilst edging its way northward in the open Atlantic, aiming for Bermuda at present. Leslie is expected to become a Category 2 storm, with a small chance of the storm becoming the first major hurricane of the Atlantic season. All interests in Bermuda should be monitoring this storm, as it is expected to pass close to the island in the next three days.With winds of 65 mph, the circulation of Leslie looks like it is experiencing some shear with most of the activity on the right side. That is the side forecast to hit Bermuday by the end of the week.
Sept 4
Leslie is starting its major slowdown over the Atlantic and the convection of Leslie appears to be heading towards Bermuda. Why is this circulation moving so slowly? Will the atmosphere keep Leslie at bay?
Tropical Storm Leslie has been churning the open Atlantic waters on its journey northeastward. Leslie is expected to continue to stay away from North America, though the Bermuda Weather Service refers Leslie as a potential threat to the island .
Leslie has attained 70mph winds and a pressure of 994mb earlier in its lifetime.
