Hurricane Maria is responsible for knocking out power in Puerto Rico. Ana Kasparian, Hasan Piker, and Brett Erlich, the hosts of The Young Turks, give you the details. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. https://tytnetwork.com/join/
“Hurricane Maria has knocked out power to the entire island of Puerto Rico, home to 3.5m people, emergency officials have said.
Abner Gómez, head of the disaster management agency, said none of the customers of Puerto Rico's Electric Power Authority had any electricity.
The US National Hurricane Center said "catastrophic" flooding was sweeping parts of the island.
Maria is moving away from Puerto Rico, weakening to a category two storm.
"When we are able to go outside, we are going to find our island destroyed," Mr Gómez was quoted as saying by the El Nuevo Dia newspaper.
"It's a system that has destroyed everything in its path."
The US territory's governor, Ricardo Rossello, issued a curfew for 18:00 local time (22:00 GMT) on Wednesday evening through early Saturday morning.”
