HAMILTON, Bermuda – Bermuda’s Premier Dr. Ewart Brown offered the following comments in the wake of Hurricane Bill:
“We are fortunate and thankful Hurricane Bill turned west, instead of east, and Bermuda was spared from a horrendous direct hit. On the South Shore, the minor damage resulted mainly from high winds and storm surge.
“I trust Bermudians will use this experience to prepare even better for any other storm that might come our way.
“Meantime, the excellent planning and execution by the EMO should be deeply appreciated by our citizens.”
