Hurricane Ernesto is closing in on the strongest strike on Bermuda in almost four years, then could brush parts of Newfoundland, Canada, early next week after its flooding rain and damaging winds hammered Puerto Rico and the Lesser Antilles.

Ernesto will remain well off the U.S. East Coast, but beachgoers will need to be aware of its swells generating a threat of dangerous rip currents.

C​urrent status: Category 2 Hurricane Ernesto is centered just over 200 miles south-southwest of Bermuda and is moving north-northeast.

Ernesto's scope of strong winds continues to grow. Hurricane-force winds now extending up to 75 miles from its center.

W​inds are steadily picking up in Bermuda, with some gusts over 40 mph clocked at the National Museum of Bermuda.

“Weren’t the weather people screaming this was going to hit the US?”

Actually I don’t think they were.......I watch the weather channel just to laugh at the manufactured drama and I don’t recall even them saying it was a threat to the US.

This morning one of ‘em said it would miss the US and he actually sounded disappointed.

I've noticed that they're now giving names to snowstorms.

It did hit Puerto Rico so technically they were correct.
