Hurricane Maria is now a category 5, “extremely dangerous” storm, and its winds have begun lashing Dominica. The storm’s projected path threatens Puerto Rico.
From the Miami Herald:
A storm surge and destructive waves were expected to raise water levels 6 to 9 feet above normal tides, causing widespread flooding as Hurricane Maria moved across the Leeward Islands Monday and early Tuesday.
Puerto Rico is still recovering from the effects of Hurricane Irma just over a week ago.
Maria’s maximum sustained winds are currently 160 mph with hurricane force winds extending 25 miles from Maria’s center.
