A hurricane is a tropical storm with cyclonic wind speeds greater than 74 miles per hour. Hurricanes and tropical storms have had a major impact on Bermuda. Indeed it was a hurricane that led to the colonisation of the island by Sir George Somers and the crew of the Sea Venture in 1609. Despite this, the risk posed by hurricanes to visitors is fairly minimal.
