Hurricane Maria has devastated the American commonwealth of Puerto Rico, leaving the Caribbean island without power and compelling Governor Ricardo Rossello to declare a Wednesday-to-Saturday curfew from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., according to The Guardian.
After passing over Puerto Rico, Hurricane Maria was downgraded from a Category 4 storm to a Category 2 storm, although the National Hurricane Service warns that it could strengthen again.
The sheer magnitude of Hurricane Maria's impact on Puerto Rico can be difficult to comprehend, although these video clips (including San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz choking back tears as she contemplated how her city will never be the same) and pictures taken from Twitter do give an idea.
