Hurricane Igor has weakened to a Category One storm but the large waves that were generated when Igor was a very strong Category Four Hurricane are hitting the eastern side of Bermuda this afternoon as what is left of the center of circulation is passing off to the southwest.
BNVN Weather Paparazzi Chris Collura just shot this amazing footage from the Eastern tip of Bermuda in Tobacco Bay of huge waves slamming into and even up and over the coast line and a roadway.
The footage shows large debris flying up in the air as the waves slam into the coast line near the roadway.
Chris is back out shooting more footage and will have another video uploaded if possible later this evening if the power remains on in his area of the island.

Hurricane Igor is zeroing in on the Island of Bermuda and StormChasingVideo Weather Paparazzi Chris Collura was at Elbow Beach in Saint George Bermuda today and shot this footage of large waves hitting the shoreline.
While Hurricane Igor is still a large storm that is on track to hit Bermuda, looking at the latest USAF Hurricane Hunter recon data and the latest forecast discussion from the National Hurricane Center, it is no surprise that the storm is now Hurricane Igor is a Category One Hurricane with winds of 90 mph. (Cat 1 = Sustained winds 74-95 mph, 64-82 kt, or 119-153 km/hr).
This has been what the computer models have been forecasting for several days. Igor is now dying of rapidly and has lost it’s eye so if the storm continues to fall apart over the next 24 hours, the damage to the island of Bermuda will be minimal since the buildings on the island are designed to withstand major hurricanes.
The man concern now for Bermuda is for the large waves that were generated by Igor when it was still a Major Hurricane several days ago. If the storm drops below hurricane strength before making landfall, my other forecast is for everyone in the media to reuse the term “Dodged The Bullet” with regards to Igor. It is more like the forecast models nailed it and Bermuda will take a hit but won’t be knocked out.
