  • Ernesto made landfall in Bermuda as a Category 1 hurricane, causing widespread flooding and power outages.
  • Two fatalities in South Carolina were attributed to rip currents generated by Ernesto.
  • The storm is forecast to pass near southeastern Newfoundland, potentially causing coastal flooding and dangerous surf.
  • Ernesto will then weaken and move towards the UK, bringing heavy rain and strong winds, especially to Scotland.
  • Weather warnings have been issued for parts of the UK, with potential impacts on travel and infrastructure.
