Hurricane Fiona's sweep across Puerto Rico brought heavy rains, flooding and landslides, knocking out power to the entire island that still is rebuilding its electric grid after the devastation of Hurricane Maria in 2017. The Category 1 hurricane, which struck the island’s southwest coast on Sept. 18, caused extensive damage as forecasters warned of historic levels of rain through the next few days, the Associated Press reports.
Up to 30 in. of rain was expected in Puerto Rico’s southern region, triggering floods and landslides and knocking out the power grid in what the AP reports Gov. Pedro Pierluisi calling "catastrophic" damages.
