Hurricane Maria Devastates Puerto Rico. Hurricane Maria, the worst storm to hit Puerto Rico in almost a century, left the island with massive floods, uprooted trees, and a general, 100 percent blackout. Restoring power for millions may take months. Puerto Ricans in Connecticut and New York mobilize to send relief to the victims of this latest disaster, the second hurricane this month.
