Hurricane Ernesto on Thursday barreled toward Bermuda where it promised to produce a dangerous storm surge and heavy rains after leaving hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans without power in its wake.The Category 1 hurricane was 570 miles (915 km) southwest of Bermuda as it headed north, packing winds of 85 miles an hour at daybreak on Thursday, the National Hurricane Center said in an advisory. Ernesto became a hurricane on Wednesday, thrashing Puerto Rico with heavy rains and fierce winds. Images and video footage from the island showed flood waters covering roadways, downed powerlines and destroyed homes and vehicles. As of midday on Thursday, some 410,000 homes and businesses - about a quarter of all customers on the U.S. territory - remained without electricity, according to LUMA Energy, the Caribbean island's main power supplier. Around half of Puerto Rico's customers were without power on Wednesday. Vanessa Toro, a San Juan resident who lost electricity at 4 a.m. on Wednesday, said she was frustrated that she is still without power even though the storm had little impact on her area.
"If the event had been of a large magnitude, one understands the situation a little more, but this storm was not catastrophic," she said. "Then LUMA says it is prepared to deal with these situations, but we are without power 29 hours after the storm."
We are working to assist those affected, but there is a dire need for shelter, food, and water due to the rising number of displaced families. The entire island of Puerto Rico was without power on Sunday as Hurricane Fiona made landfall and threatened to cause "catastrophic flooding" and landslides. The storm knocked out the territory's power grid -- which remains fragile after Hurricane Maria caused the largest blackout in U.S. history in 2017. The storm made landfall with maximum sustained winds of over 85 miles per hour. U.S. President Joe Biden declared a state of emergency Sunday.
We are providing food, water shelter for the people devastated by tropical storm Isaias. Tropical Storm Isaias, which is hammering the Dominican Republic and likely become a hurricane on Friday. The 60 mph storm's maximum sustained winds has caused landslides, flooding and power outages downed trees and inundated neighborhoods where earthquake-damaged homes still stand in Puerto Rico, which is still recovering from previous hurricanes and earthquakes.
Rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches are likely, with locally up to 10 inches expected over the next few days across the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Children carried to safety in high waters and over 400,000 losing power.

Schools across Puerto Rico remained closed on Wednesday as more than a half-million people remained without electricity after the island's worst earthquake in a century. Some Puerto Ricans in the hard-hit south area of the island in towns such as Guanica moved beds outside Tuesday night over concerns their homes would collapse if another earthquake hit. The flurry of quakes in Puerto Rico's southern region began the night of Dec. 28. “There's no power". "There's no water". "There is nothing". "This is horrible".
