'It's destroyed everything in its path': Puerto Rico in total darkness after Hurricane Maria knocks out 100% of the island's power while nearly two feet of rain turns roads into rivers of mud
The entire island of Puerto Rico is without power after Hurricane Maria swept through the U.S. territory today. Maria made landfall on Puerto Rico Wednesday morning as a Cat. 4 hurricanes with 155 mph winds. As of 5pm ET, the eye of the storm has moved off shore and weakened to a Cat. 3 storm with 110 mph winds. The storm is next headed to the Dominican Republic, where it's expected to strike tonight. The Turks & Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas will see hurricane conditions Thursday evening. Before hitting Puerto Rico, Maria battered St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands for about five hours overnight. So far, Maria has been blamed for nine deaths - seven on Dominica and two on Guadeloupe.
