Hurricane Fiona blasts Turks and Caicos Islands as a Category 3 storm after leaving a trail of destruction in Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic
Parts of the steel bridge that was washed away are seen on the banks of the Vivi River in the aftermath of Hurricane Fiona in Utuado, Puerto Rico.
The Turks and Caicos, a British territory of some 38,000 people, was being lashed by heavy rains and strong winds on Tuesday as Fiona crept northwards on a path that could see the storm approaching Bermuda late Thursday. Blackouts were reported on Grand Turk and several other islands in the archipelago and 165 people were admitted to shelters, she said, adding that Britain's Royal Navy and the US Coast Guard are standing by providing assistance.
Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader declared three eastern provinces to be disaster zones: La Altagracia — home to the popular resort of Punta Cana — El Seibo and Hato Mayor. Puerto Rico Governor Pedro Pierluisi said the storm had caused catastrophic damage on the island of three million people since Sunday, with some areas receiving more than 76 centimetres of rain.
The hurricane has left around 800,000 people without drinking water as a result of power outages and flooded rivers, officials said.
