Hurricane Fiona has brought devastation to the people of Puerto Rico, and advocates are stressing the need for on-the-ground aid and resources. The now Category 3 storm grew more powerful Tuesday as it rolled past Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic after pounding the islands with up to 30 inches of rain, triggering overwhelming flooding and leaving much in ruin. Three deaths have been reported. As of Tuesday, more than 80% of Puerto Rico remained without power – more than 24 hours after the storm shut down the island's entire electrical system. There's no running water in more than 100,000 homes and businesses. The Dominican Republic is still assessing damage.
