Ernesto Puts a Damper on Weekend Tourism
From Times Wire Reports
The remnants of Tropical Storm Ernesto put a sloppy, wet damper on the last big tourism weekend of the summer for many people, making a mess of some oceanfront hotels and leaving beaches and boardwalks less crowded than usual.
Ernesto was reduced to an area of rain over western New York state and the lower Great Lakes after drenching Virginia and North Carolina with up to a foot on its run up the East Coast. More than half a million homes and businesses were without electricity.
