Video: bridge swept away by Hurricane Fiona in Puerto Rico

Hurricane Fiona struck Puerto Rico's southwest coast on Sunday as it unleashed landslides, knocked the power grid out and ripped up asphalt from roads and flung the pieces around.

Forecasters said the storm would cause massive flooding and threatened to dump "historic" levels of rain, with up to 30 inches (76 centimeters) possible in eastern and southern Puerto Rico.

The storm also washed away a bridge in the central mountain town of Utuado that police say was installed by the National Guard after Hurricane Maria hit in 2017.

Local resident Leomar Rodríguez González captured the moment a bridge was being swept away by fast-moving waters.

Rodríguez González said the intense rainfall continues in the area.

Fiona was centered 10 miles (15 kilometers) west of Mayaguez with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph (140 kph), according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.

It was moving to the northwest at 9 mph (15 kph).
