Warning issued for Puerto Rico and other parts of the Caribbean, with a disturbance in the Atlantic expected to soon strengthen into a tropical storm
New Census Bureau data show Puerto Rico lost nearly 4% of its population after Hurricane Maria — the greatest population drop in the recorded history of the island, according to one demographer.
“We’re not facing a situation like Maria, but we have to remain wary,” said Pedro Janer, secretary of the Department of Public Safety. Many worried about whether Puerto Rico’s fragile power grid, which was destroyed by Maria, would withstand tropical storm-force winds. On Tuesday, the island’s power company and union leaders announced that more than 450,000 customers were briefly left without electricity when a plant was knocked offline for unknown reasons.During a news conference late Tuesday, Gov. Wanda Vázquez said the storm is expected to cause power outages.
The maximum sustained winds were 40 mph with higher gusts. Forecasters said some strengthening was expected during the next 48 hours, with the system expected to become a tropical storm Wednesday.Forecasters estimated the northern Leeward Islands, British and U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico would experience 3 to 6 inches of rainfall with maximum amounts of 10 inches.Get all the day's most vital news with our Today's Headlines newsletter, sent every weekday morning.
