Hurricane Fiona in Turks and Caicos Islands

Hurricane Fiona slammed into the Turks and Caicos Islands as a powerful Category 3 storm on Tuesday 20 September, dumping heavy rains and triggering floods after cutting a path of devastation through the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico – where most people remained without electricity or running water

The government imposed a curfew and urged people to flee flood-prone areas. Hurricane-force winds extended up to 30 miles (45km) from the centre. Fiona had maximum sustained winds of 115mph (185km/h) according to the Hurricane Centre.
