Puerto Rico suffers total blackout as Hurricane Fiona brings threat of flooding, mudslides

(CNN)Power has gone out across all of the US territory of Puerto Rico on Sunday, according to PowerOutage.us, as Hurricane Fiona bears down on the islands, which are already grappling with the threat of flooding and mudslides stemming from the Category 1 storm.

"Puerto Rico is 100% without power due to a transmission grid failure from Hurricane Fiona," the website said.

Gov. Pedro Pierluisi confirmed the outage in a tweet, noting the entire electric system was out of service and officials have activated the proper protocols to work to restore power.

The blackout -- which followed hours of progressively worsening power outages -- comes five years after Puerto Rico's power grid was devastated by Hurricane Maria in September 2017, leaving many residents without electricity for months.
