Around 82,000 homes and businesses were still without power in Puerto Rico on Thursday, over two weeks after Hurricane Fiona caused an island-wide outage for its 3.3 million people.

Fiona plowed into Puerto Rico on Sept. 18, about five years after Hurricane Maria also knocked out all power on the Caribbean island.
