<P> In total , 184 events are listed , with widely varying degrees of damage . A hurricane in 1609 was responsible for the first permanent settlement on Bermuda : in late July , the Jamestown - bound , British ship Sea Venture nearly foundered in the storm and sought refuge on the islands , which the passengers found surprisingly hospitable . Hurricane Fabian was the most intense storm to impact the territory in modern times , though officially it did not make landfall , and was the only storm to have its name retired for effects in Bermuda . The costliest storms were Fabian and Gonzalo , which caused about $300 million and $200 -- 400 million in damage respectively ( 2003 and 2014 USD ) . Accounting for inflation and continued development , Fabian would have likely wrought around $650 million in damage had it struck in 2014 . The most recent tropical cyclone to affect the islands was Hurricane Jose in September 2017 . </P>
