   Fiona intensified from a tropical storm to a Category 1 hurricane on Sunday as it battered Puerto Rico, bringing destructive winds and life-threatening flash flooding while cutting power to the entire island. Conditions rapidly deteriorated over the island Sunday morning into the early afternoon and are not expected to improve until late Sunday night or Monday.
   
   As the wind and rain escalated Sunday, more than 1.4 million people experienced power outages, which is 100 percent of the customers tracked on the island, according to PowerOutage.us. Puerto Rico’s governor, Pedro Pierluisi, said in a tweet on Sunday afternoon that the power was out on the entire island.
   
   In its early afternoon update, the National Hurricane Center warned both Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic should expect “catastrophic flooding” from the slow-moving storm.
