Hurricane Ernesto has left hundreds of thousands in Puerto Rico without power or water amidst extreme heat, as it barrels toward Bermuda, prompting urgent preparations.
National security minister Michael Weeks emphasized the importance of preparation, noting the devastating effects of complacency observed in past storms.
Ernesto, once a tropical storm, rapidly intensified into a hurricane, leaving over 450,000 Puerto Rican customers without power and many questioning the outage.
As the storm nears Bermuda, officials warn of significant rainfall and winds, with forecasts indicating potential strength as a major category 3 hurricane.
