Hurricane Maria: Whole of Puerto Rico without power

Hurricane Maria has knocked out power across the island of Puerto Rico, home to 3.5m people, officials have said.

Abner Gómez, head of the disaster management agency, said none of the customers of Puerto Rico's Electric Power Authority had any electricity.

The US National Hurricane Center said "catastrophic" flooding was sweeping parts of the island.

Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello said one fatality had been reported so far, a man struck by flying debris.

Maria, weakened to a category two storm, is moving away from the US territory and heading towards the Dominican Republic.
