Satellite images show Puerto Rico destruction
STORY: Satellite images provided by Maxar showed various damaged bridges in Puerto Rico, where Hurricane Fiona hit as a Category 1 hurricane on Sunday (September 18). Large parts of the island was flooded, with some 40% of the island's 3.3 million residents without water and 75% without power.
Puerto Rico suffered from the devastating Hurricane Maria five years ago, in 2017. The Category 4 storm killed 3,000 people and left the entire island without power for a week.
U.S. President Joe Biden approved a disaster declaration on Wednesday for the island, which makes federal funding available for people affected by the storm. The hurricane is expected to strengthen as it moves north toward Bermuda.
