Tropical Storm Fiona killed one man in the French territory of Guadeloupe on Friday after his home was washed away by floods.
A storm that has already left one person dead strengthened to a Category 1 hurricane on Sunday as it barreled toward Puerto Rico and threatened to drop massive amounts of rain on the island’s southern coast.
Fiona, then a tropical storm, killed one man in the French territory of Guadeloupe on Friday after his home was washed away by floods. His body was discovered on Saturday. “These rains will produce life-threatening flash flooding and urban flooding across Puerto Rico and the eastern Dominican Republic, along with mudslides and landslides in areas of higher terrain,” the the National Hurricane Center said.
The National Weather Service said Saturday that the Blanco River in the island’s southeast is already overflowing and told those who live nearby to flee.LARA BALAIS/AFP via Getty Images
