Thousands Lose Power as Hurricane Humberto Lashes Bermuda
---------------------------------------------------------

In Bermuda, more than 28,000 homes and businesses lost power overnight
as the outer bands of Hurricane Humberto brought down trees and power
lines. But the British territory was spared a direct hit from the
dangerous Category 3 hurricane. This comes as a record-tying six named
storms churned in the Eastern Pacific and Atlantic basins. Climate
scientists say warmer ocean temperatures driven by greenhouse gas
emissions are making hurricanes and other extreme weather events more
destructive.
