Hurricane Maria is the strongest and most devastating storm to hit the island of Puerto Rico in modern memory.
The storm roared ashore, making landfall on the U.S. territory on Wednesday as a Category 4 storm, bringing extreme flooding to the island that is home to 3.4 million people.
Communications are mostly down in Puerto Rico, with reports that the entire island was without power as of Wednesday due to the storm's extreme winds and the territory's aging power systems.
