Fiona slams Dominican Republic after pounding Puerto Rico! Plus Typhoon's Merbok & Nanmadol update!

Hurricane Fiona roared over the Dominican Republic on Monday, a day after knocking out power to all of Puerto Rico and causing damage the governor described as “catastrophic.” Many people were also left without water service.

The blow from Fiona was made more devastating because Puerto Rico has yet to recover from Hurricane Maria, which killed nearly 3,000 people and destroyed the power grid in 2017. Five years later, more than 3,000 homes on the island still have blue tarps for a roof.

The wind and water from Fiona stripped the pavement from roads, tore off roofs and sent torrents pouring into homes. The storm also took out a bridge and flooded two airports.

A temporary metal bridge in Puerto Rico, built in the wake of Hurricane Maria, was swept away in the rushing floodwaters of Hurricane Fiona.

Harrowing video shows the moment the metal bridge creaks and groans under the pressure of the rising, fast-moving floodwaters.

Clattering metal is heard as the bridge comes loose and then flows downstream in one piece, whisked away by the current. The video then shows bystanders in disbelief with hands over their heads.

The island's National Weather Service office said flash flooding was occurring in south-central parts of Puerto Rico and tweeted, "MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND IMMEDIATELY!"

Up to 22 inches of rain had fallen in some areas of Puerto Rico and forecasters said another 4 to 8 inches could fall - perhaps up to 15 inches in some places - even as the storm moves away.

Three storms wreaked havoc around the world over the weekend. Here is where they are now and where they are heading.

Extreme wind and storm surge from the remnants of a typhoon were powerful enough to uproot buildings in Alaska this weekend, and the storm it is still hanging around.

Hurricane Fiona brought over 2 feet of rain to portions of Puerto Rico, causing rivers to rage, demolishing a bridge in the torrent of water. Fiona caused an islandwide power outage, impacting nearly 1.5 million customers on Sunday. The storm is now forecast to strengthen into the Atlantic season's first major hurricane.

And after making landfall in southern Japan as a strong typhoon, causing damage and power outages, Nanmadol is turning right and heading up the spine of Japan towards Tokyo. From there, it heads toward Alaska.

On Sunday, after the remnants of Typhoon Merbok pummeled western Alaska with storm surges and gusting winds, residents living along more than 1,000 miles of coastline — many of them in the state’s most vulnerable communities — faced varying degrees of flooding and infrastructure damage. And there were concerns about the long-term impact and how they would recover as the colder months approach.

At least two people have died after Typhoon Nanmadol brought record-breaking rains and strong winds to Japan's southernmost island of Kyushu and cut power to hundreds of thousands of people, according to local authorities.

Nanmadol made landfall in Kyushu's Kagoshima prefecture on Sunday evening, registering as one of the strongest typhoons Japan has ever seen, according to the World Meteorological Association.
