  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] The entire island of Puerto Rico is without power after Hurricane Maria swept through the U.S. territory today

  • Maria made landfall on Puerto Rico Wednesday morning as a Cat. 4 hurricane with 155 mph winds

  • As of 5.30pm ET, the storm has moved off shore and weakened to a Cat. 2 storm with 110 mph winds

  • The storm is next headed to the Dominican Republic, where it's expected to strike tonight

  • The Turks & Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas will see hurricane conditions Thursday evening

  • Before hitting Puerto Rico, Maria battered St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands for about five hours overnight
