Joe Raedle/Getty Images/AFPHurricane Dorian bore down on Puerto Rico Wednesday as residents braced for a direct hit, the first since the island was ravaged two years ago by Hurricane Maria.
The latest path also puts Dorian on a trajectory to strike the Atlantic coast of Florida or Georgia by the weekend, with few obstacles to weaken it after Puerto Rico. The 49-year-old said she lost “absolutely everything” to flooding during Maria. “I definitely don’t want to go through that again.” Evacuations were getting underway, starting with people living in Maria-damaged homes that still have blue tarps for roofs, Carlos Acevedo Caballero, head of the local emergency management agency, told reporters.Maria, a Category 4 hurricane, shattered the island’s already shaky power grid, overwhelmed public services and left many residents homeless.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis warned that Dorian could grow into a major hurricane as he warned people to get ready.
