Tropical Storm causes one death Ernesto hits the US east coast with strong waves and rip currents.
Even though Tropical Storm Ernesto left Bermuda on Sunday and moved farther northeast over the Atlantic, it left behind strong waves that swept the US East Coast, creating rip currents linked to at least one fatality and necessitating numerous rescue operations.
In addition to issuing a coastal flood advisory, the National Weather Service issued a high-risk rip current warning for the Atlantic Coast through Monday night, stating that the currents “can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.”
