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."
