SAN JUAN, PR – (Travis Fedschun, Fox News. Please click on the link for the full story. Here is an excerpt below.)
Hurricane Maria roared onto Puerto Rico early Wednesday as an “extremely dangerous” Category 4 storm, blasting the island’s most populated areas with life-threatening gusts nearing 200 mph after slamming smaller Caribbean islands along the way.
Maria made landfall near Yabucoa on the island’s southeast coast around 6:15 a.m., striking the area with sustained winds of 145 mph that are expected to last for 12 to 24 hours, forecasters said.
“Maria will bring a potentially catastrophic combination of storm-surge flooding, destructive winds and flooding rain to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.”
