Hurricane Fiona

Around 50,000 solar and battery power systems have been installed on homes in Puerto Rico in recent years, and most seemed to continue working during Hurricane Fiona.

Hurricane Fiona dumped so much rain on Puerto Rico that its network of rivers flooded, causing catastrophic damage in many communities. It was worsened by poor past planning and development choices.

The hurricane dumped more than 2 feet of rain in some areas of the island. The rain and flooding have left a soggy mess across many homes and weary residents are starting to clean up.

The intensifying storm kept dropping copious rain over the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, where a 58-year-old man died after police said he was swept away by a river in a central mountain town.

After Hurricane Fiona left Puerto Rico under island-wide blackout and flooding, the South Florida diaspora wants to avoid the relief mistakes it witnessed in 2017.

The U.S. response to Maria was widely seen as wholly inadequate. As the island marks the anniversary of the Category 4 storm, the destruction caused by Fiona has emerged as a test of lessons learned.

Several organizations are asking for assistance in helping those impacted by Hurricane Fiona.

More than 760,000 customers have been left with no access to clean running water since Hurricane Fiona struck the island on Sunday.

Hurricane Fiona has passed through Puerto Rico, causing mass floods and mudslides and leaving most of the island without electricity. Puerto Ricans dealing with the fallout describe the situation.

Hurricane Fiona spent most of Sunday dumping heavy rain and lashing winds across Puerto Rico. On Monday, people on the island have been trying to figure out just how bad the damage is.

Hurricane Fiona lashed the island of Puerto Rico over the weekend and early Monday, bringing several feet of rain across mountainous terrain.

The governor of Puerto Rico says it will likely take days to fully restore the electricity on the island — but that's contingent upon how much damage the storm inflicted on the power grid.
