Ernesto picked up strength as a hurricane early Monday as it headed farther out in the Atlantic toward easternmost Canada, but the storm is expected to stay offshore, causing powerful swells, dangerous surf and rip currents along the U.S. East Coast, the National Hurricane Center said. In an unrelated storm, as much as 10 inches (25.4 centimeters) of rain washed away roads, flooded basements and led to rescues in Connecticut, the National Weather Service said.
