Its maximum sustained winds were blowing at 85 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center.

No deaths related to the storm have been reported in Puerto Rico, but there were over 730,000 customers were left without electricity Wednesday, with some also losing water service, Gov. Pedro Pierluisi said.
