"PONCE, Puerto Rico -- Tropical Storm Dorian is expected to make landfall in Puerto Rico Wednesday, bringing dangerous rains to the island still reeling from 2017's Hurricane Maria.
Dorian is currently in the Caribbean Sea, just west of Guadeloupe and Montserrat and is expected to reach Puerto Rico at near hurricane strength in the midday or afternoon, CNN meteorologist Haley Brink said. But as it keeps moving, Dorian could bring a hurricane to Florida for Labor Day weekend.
The rainfall Dorian is expected to bring may cause life-threatening flash floods, the National Hurricane Center said. CNN meteorologist Chad Myers said the storm could easily disrupt the already fragile infrastructure on the island where 2,975 people died from Hurricane Maria just two years ago."
Madeline Holcombe, Christina Maxouris, and Omar Jimenez report for CNN August 28, 2019.
