Hurricane Fiona knocked out power across all of Puerto Rico, causing “catastrophic” damage, the governor said.
Hurricane Fiona roared over the Dominican Republic on Monday after knocking out power across all of Puerto Rico, causing damage the governor said was"catastrophic." Many people were left without water service.
As much as 15 inches were projected for the eastern Dominican Republic, where authorities told most people to stay home from work, closed ports and banned use of beaches.

Fiona also ripped asphalt from roads and washed away a bridge in the central mountain town of Utuado that police said was installed by the National Guard after Hurricane Maria hit in 2017 as a Category 4 storm.
