Hurricane Nicole (2016)

Maximum sustained winds rose to near 100 mph early on Wednesday 12 October 2016 and the storm reached Category 3 with winds of 115 mph (185 km/h) while about 210 miles (335 km) south-southwest of Bermuda, moving north-northeast at 10 mph. It peaked early on 13 October as a Category 4 with winds of 140 mph (230 km/h), and satellite imagery at 11:15 a.m. local time that day caught it just before the eyewall made a direct hit on Bermuda, which it crossed with winds up to 115 mph. Damage amounted to up to $15 million, less than anticipated, and one person drowned in large swells that washed ashore along the East Coast of the United States.
