In todays Trinidad Guardian Hurricane Fay weakens, TS Gonzalo strengthens Tropical Storm Fay strengthened to a Category 1 hurricane in the Atlantic but was expected to weaken, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center said. The storm earlier swept past Bermuda, lashing the island with heavy rain and gusting winds, knocking out power for more than 27,000 customers of the Bermuda Electric Light Company. The utility is the sole supplier of electricity for the territory of roughly 65,000 inhabitants. Fay downed trees and utility poles and several roads were blocked across the tiny archipelago, which has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world and enforces strict building codes to ensure that homes can withstand intense weather. Bermuda authorities urged residents not to venture out on the roads. “The safest thing is for people to remain at home and allow the important work that follows this kind of storm to be done safely,” Acting Premier Trevor Moniz said.
