Hurricane Ernesto made landfall in Bermuda on Saturday morning as a Category 1 storm after slamming Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, making travel to the Caribbean a difficult prospect.
As the storm hit, the Bermuda International Airport said it was experiencing wind gusts up to 63 miles per hour.
According to flightaware.com, there have been more than 18,600 flights delayed worldwide as of 11 a.m. EST this morning, but only 396 were canceled.
Ernesto will make its way up the eastern seaboard remaining off the coast and away from population centers such as Washington and Philadelphia and New York later this weekend and this week.
The storm has been classified as a Category 1. It isn’t necessarily as powerful as previous storms have been, but its combination of wind and rain is knocking out power in many spots, making life complicated for airlines.
The storm could be responsible for up to 15 inches of rain in some areas of the Caribbean. A Category 1 hurricane can deliver winds of up to 85 mph.
United Airlines and Delta have begun issuing travel waivers and alerts and are reminding customers that most change fees have been dropped. Check with your airline as the storm progresses.
Cruise lines also could be impacted as Ernesto is expected to possibly create 40-foot waves in the Atlantic.
It is the fifth named storm of the season and second in two weeks.

Hawaii has often been the go-to for Los Angeles residents who want a warm, sunny beach getaway (with a recent heavy focus on how to do so ethically). But what if we were to tell you that you can actually fly to parts of the Caribbean from Los Angeles faster than you can fly to parts of Hawaii?
The rapidly brightening sky was painted with swaths of orange, pink, and yellow. The early-morning light revealed a city that seemed to be little more than a patchwork of haphazardly planned mid-rise buildings in varying states of repair, punctuated with sprawling bushes, trees quivering in the morning breeze, and lawns sloping toward the nearby sea. The nocturnal beep-beep of tree frogs gave way to the insistent chirp of morning birds that rose from the trees to swoop across the sky like animated chevrons. As I watched the Senegalese sunrise on my first day in Africa, I was vibrating with anticipation. Dakar was waking up, and I was here to witness it.
