Category 1 Hurricane Ernesto continues North, expected to approach Bermuda by Saturday

Hurricane Ernesto has caused significant power outages in Puerto Rico, affecting over 730,000 customers. Although the island did not take a direct hit, the storm's impact on its fragile electrical system is reminiscent of the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria in 2017. Efforts are ongoing to address the mental health challenges that arise during hurricane season, with a focus on providing tools for healthcare providers and first responders. Residents are advised to stay indoors due to potential flooding, and further insights from FEMA will be shared in an upcoming broadcast.
