This weekend’s torrential rain continues to impact events and daily life across Bermuda. As of today, the ongoing thunderstorms and heavy rainfall have led to the cancellation of the Kappa Tournament, with hopes to resume play tomorrow at 7am—weather permitting.
Last evening, an electric car fire broke out near a residence, raising serious concerns about the safety of electric vehicles and their charging systems, Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Flooded streets, lightning strikes, and rolling thunder have blanketed the island throughout the day, with more rain expected overnight and into tomorrow. The Bermuda Weather Service forecasts that the storm system will begin to ease by late Sunday evening, with Monday bringing light rain.
Flooded roads were reported in several parishes, making travel hazardous. Despite the severe conditions, officials confirm that there have been no injuries connected to the storms.
We urge all residents to stay alert and exercise caution while driving. Potholes are re-emerging in several areas, creating additional hazards. Please avoid flooded roadways when possible, do not drink and drive, and make safety a top priority as we head into the remainder of the weekend.
