HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Gabrielle will continue to affect Bermuda during the next few days. These
swells are now reaching the east coast of the United States from North Carolina northward, as well as Atlantic Canada, and are expected to continue through the early part this week. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
