Hurricane Ernest, originating from Bermuda and Canada’s Atlantic Ocean
As the cleanup from Ernesto begins in Puerto Rico, the hurricanes attack Bermuda, then attack the Canadian Atlantic Ocean with powerful winds and flooding rains.
Hurricane Ernesto regained strength as Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands recovered from the stormy broadside on Thursday.
About 20% of Puerto Rican residents and businesses remained without power as of Thursday, according to the island’s energy provider Luma Energy. According to El Nuevo Dia, 258,000 customers were still short on drinking water by 6pm, causing parts of the island to destroy record heat while still being repaired.
According to the National Hurricane Centre’s 8pm update, the Category 1 hurricane was 450 miles south-southwest of Bermuda with winds of 90 mph.
