Hurricane Ernesto: Atlantic Canada may only see outer bands of storm

As Hurricane Ernesto was bearing down towards the island of Bermuda on Friday, Environment and Climate Change meteorologist Rob Robichaud said its path towards Canada’s Atlantic provinces may get a reprieve.
“It looks like the core of the strongest winds should remain offshore given the track that we're expecting now,” Robichaud said.
Hurricane Ernesto is “having some struggles in intensifying over the last couple of days - it has intensified a little bit but due to some dryer air and some wind shear but it hasn’t yet lived up to what we thought it would so far but there is still some opportunity for strengthening in the next few days,” Robichaud added.
Ernesto churned towards Bermuda on Friday as a powerful Category 2 storm likely to produce 30 cm of rainfall over the weekend and trigger life-threatening flooding and storm surges in the British island territory.

For all those who may be affected by rising tide and risk flooding move your things upstairs. Take your pictures and gems with you.

The weather reporters are now having to manufacture the storm fear factor. Ernesto will now be remembered as the hurricane that brought historical and unprecedented rip tides. Oh the horror. But, they insist, we must take this seriously. The climate is changing and this is no laughing matter. Wanna bet? 😂😂😂
