For the second time in five years, a major hurricane hit the island of Puerto Rico this week when Hurricane Fiona devastated areas that had only recently been rebuilt and left 80% of homes and businesses in the dark, and many without running water.
This happened as the island was still rebuilding after the deadliest natural disaster in 100 years on the island, Hurricane Maria, which killed about 3,000 people in 2017 and destroyed the island’s electrical system.
