Hurricane Maria is shaping up to be a true monster. She smacked Puerto Rico on Wednesday, entering the island as a Category 4, with winds as high as 155 mph. As a direct result of Maria, the island of Puerto Rico is 100% without power and electricity. On Wednesday night and Thursday morning, the storm has been projected to sweep through the nation, causing plenty of devastation in its wake.
Puerto Rico has an official death toll of 62 as a direct result of Hurricane Maria. According to a report from The New York Times, as many as 1,052 may have died from the hurricane.
A hurricane warning has been issued in the island of Montserrat. Meanwhile, a hurricane watch has been placed on Anguilla and the Turks and Caicos Islands, who are expecting Hurricane Maria as soon as Thursday.
Maria is a true beast. The Caribbean is still shaking over Hurricane Irma, and now they have another powerful storm to contend with.
