If you've been following the path of now Hurricane Ernesto, you know that the storm is well on its way to Bermuda - there forecasted to be one of the less than 15 storms to hit the archipelago since the 1850s. However, then Tropical Storm Ernesto packed a punch in the Caribbean, as well. One of the most affected islands was Puerto Rico, and the island's critical infrastructure is currently under deep strain. Reuters reports that up to a quarter of the island is without power. Worse still, hundreds of thousands are reported to be without water, as well, attesting to the increasing link between disaster preparedness and critical infrastructure protection.

National Hurricane Centre Tracking For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: 1. Southwestern Atlantic and Eastern Gulf of Mexico: A well-defined tropical wave is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms over Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the northern Leeward Islands, and the adjacent waters of the southwestern Atlantic and northeastern Caribbean Sea. Development of this system is unlikely during the next couple of days while it moves west-northwestward over portions of the Greater Antilles. However, environmental conditions are forecast to be more conducive for development after the wave passes the Greater Antilles, and a tropical depression could form this weekend or early next week over the eastern Gulf of Mexico or far southwestern Atlantic Ocean, including in the vicinity of Florida. Interests across the Greater Antilles, Bahamas, and Florida should continue to monitor the progress of this system. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.
