Fierce Waves: Hurricane Igor Heads North After Battering Bermuda

Sept. 20, 2010— -- A weakened Hurricane Igor battered the British territory of Bermuda Sunday night as it continued to move north this morning.

The category 1 storm howled through Bermuda's empty streets and left most of the island without electricity.

Gusts ranged up to 93 miles per hour, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami.

Heavy winds will pound the North Atlantic Island for at least half a day. Fierce waves hit the island but no major damage has been reported.

Forecasters predict the storm will head northeast but could still create high surf and rip currents along the U.S. Eastern seaboard.

A tropical storm watch was issued for the Newfoundland coast in Canada.
