Fiona strengthened from a tropical storm into a hurricane Sunday as it bore down on Puerto Rico, where people braced for severe wind and torrential rains.
Authorities in the U.S. territory said it was too early to know the full scope of damage from an expansive storm that was still forecast to unleash torrential rain across Puerto Rico on Monday.
Forecasters said the downpour was expected to produce landslides and catastrophic flooding, with up to 25 inches possible in isolated areas.
Fiona struck on the anniversary of Hurricane Hugo, which hit Puerto Rico 33 years.
