NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hurricane Danielle in the open Atlantic Ocean was downgraded to a Category 1 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale as winds eased from 100 miles per hour to 80 mph on Tuesday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
The storm still posed no threat to energy interests in the Gulf of Mexico as it headed northwest and to the east of Bermuda.
