Puerto Rican government workers tried to forge their own path to restoring power on Monday, when about 40% of the island was without electricity more than a week after Hurricane Fiona struck.
As of 1 p.m. (1700 GMT) on Monday, Puerto Rico grid operator LUMA Energy said power had been restored to 59% of its roughly 1.5 million customers following the Sept. 18 arrival of Fiona, at the time a Category 1 hurricane that caused almost all the island's roughly 3.3 million residents to lose power.
