Hurricane Ernesto Approaches Bermuda After Leaving Puerto Rico in Darkness

As Hurricane Ernesto approaches Bermuda, officials brace for the storm’s impact while recovery efforts continue in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The storm has wreaked havoc across Puerto Rico, leaving nearly a million residents without electricity and water in the sweltering heat. Reports indicate that the hurricane’s powerful winds have caused significant damage, leading to widespread outages. In preparation for Ernesto’s arrival, Bermuda is on high alert, expecting strong winds, heavy rainfall, and a dangerous storm surge that could last for over 24 hours. The U.S. East Coast, particularly Florida, is also warned of life-threatening surf and rip currents generated by the storm. As the storm intensifies, emergency management agencies across affected regions are working tirelessly to mitigate damage and ensure public safety. The resilience of the communities affected is being tested once again as they face the challenges posed by Mother Nature.
