A house lays in the mud after it was washed away by Hurricane Fiona at Villa Esperanza in Salinas, Puerto Rico, Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2022. Fiona left hundreds of people stranded across the island after smashing roads and bridges, with authorities still struggling to reach them four days after the storm smacked the U.S. territory, causing historic flooding.
Pockets of water still bulged from her ceiling Friday in what had been a newly painted house, and Ortiz listed what she could recall of her lost furniture and other goods. Puerto Rico’s government has said it expects to have a preliminary estimate of the damage Fiona caused in roughly two weeks. “ affected our whole infrastructure. We are doing everything we can to fix it,” said Lawrence Kazmierski, senior vice president for Luma, the company that took over the island's power transmission and distribution more than a year ago.
Despite being on the opposite side of the island from where Fiona's eye made landfall, Toa Baja was especially hard hit because the Plata River — Puerto Rico’s longest — overflowed its banks into the city of more than 74,000 people.. “I see an emotional exhaustion in people. It’s a ‘here we go again,’” said Gretchen Hernández, a social worker who was overseeing the citywide survey.
