Hurricane Fiona battered Puerto Rico on September 18, making landfall within the afternoon and unleashing flooding throughout the island. As of Sunday, about half of Puerto Rico’s 1.47 million energy prospects remained at nighttime, and 20% of 1.3 million water prospects had no service as employees struggled to achieve submerged energy substations and repair downed strains.
