Dockyard is being lashed by Gonzalo, with the storm’s wrath being captured on the Port Bermuda Webcam.

Broadcasting live from Commissioner’s House, the footage has captured the rapidly deteriorating conditions and thrashing waves.

At 5.45pm, the grey skies and rain largely obscured the view but bending trees and strong surf could be seen.

At that time, Hurricane Gonzalo was less than 70 miles away from Bermuda and advancing toward us at a speed of 16 miles per hour.
