2024 Hurricane Ernesto
Formed: August 12, 2024
Dissipated: August 22, 2024
Hurricane Ernesto was a moderately strong Atlantic hurricane which caused significant flooding in Puerto Rico before striking Bermuda as a hurricane. The fifth named storm and third hurricane of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, Ernesto developed from a tropical wave east of the Leeward Islands. The storm moved towards the Antilles, impacting several nations. Ernesto then turned north, where it reached Category 2 strength, before making landfall in Bermuda as a Category 1 hurricane on August 17. Ernesto then weakened back to a tropical storm, before reintensifying back into a hurricane and brushing Atlantic Canada, becoming extratropical by August 20. (wikipedia.org)
