Photos reveal dire situation unfolding in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria
Hurricane Maria, which struck Puerto Rico on Sept. 20 as a vicious Category 4 storm, has left the U.S. territory in ruins. The power grid across the island is down, as are communications. Most residents have no access to safe drinking water, necessary medications, or even money, since ATMs don't work.
The storm crossed over the island from southeast to northwest, bringing hurricane force winds of 74 miles per hour or greater, to the entire territory. Hurricane Maria was also a prolific rainmaker, dumping more than 40 inches of water in some areas, causing mudslides and widespread flooding.
