As Fiona approached the island, PowerOutage.US reported an islandwide power blackout:

“Puerto Rico is 100% without power due to a transmission grid failure from Hurricane Fiona.”

This means nearly 1.5 million people tracked by PowerOutage have experienced power disruptions. Puerto Rico’s governor, Pedro Pierluisi, confirmed in a tweet the storm knocked out the island’s entire electric system.
