Hurricane Paulette has knocked down trees and power lines across Bermuda as it made a rare landfall in the wealthy British territory and strengthened into a Category 2 storm while still over the island.

Government officials said they would not know the full extent of the damage until Tuesday given it will be dark by the time weather conditions improve.
