Years later, in 2022, Hurricane Fiona also made landfall in Puerto Rico, bringing “catastrophic and life-threatening flooding” as the slow-moving Category 1 storm dumped trillions of gallons of water on the island.

The first hurricane of 2025 in the Atlantic continued to track north of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands on Sunday morning, hitting those islands with heavy rain and gusty winds. Erin is expected to move away from the islands later today and begin to curve more to the north.
