Hurricane Florence was the sixth named storm of the 2006 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Florence started as a tropical depression north and east of the South American coast, and since forming on September 3, it has grown in power and size only very gradually. By September 11, 2006, it had become a Category One hurricane. The hurricane brought powerful winds, rain, and strong storm-generated surf to Bermuda as it passed as close as 100 kilometers (60 miles) from the island, according to Reuters. By September 15, Florence had travelled well to the north, brings strong storm surge to the Canadian coast, and travelling far enough north to be classified as an extra-tropical storm.
