Hurricane Ernesto: Almost half of Puerto Rico without power DW 08/15/2024
Briefly

Hurricane Ernesto struck Puerto Rico, leaving over 725,000 homes without power and threatening to strengthen into a major hurricane as it moved toward Bermuda.
Wind gusts and heavy rain caused extensive power outages in Puerto Rico, impacting nearly half of the island's 1.5 million electricity users, according to LUMA Energy.
Robbie Berg from the National Hurricane Center warned beachgoers about dangerous rip currents expected along the US East coast this weekend, even amidst clear, inviting weather.
Bermuda anticipates conditions to worsen as Ernesto strengthens; residents are urged to prepare as the storm could escalate to a Category 3 hurricane by Friday.
