Puerto Rico is dealing with widespread flooding, toppled trees and other damage after being inundated by Tropical Storm Isaias. 

It hit Puerto Rico on Thursday, causing further destruction to an area still recovering from previous hurricanes and earthquakes. 

The storm developed into a Category One hurricane Friday with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph). 

It drenched islands in the Bahamas and Turks & Caicos and now is on track to hit the east coast of the United States. The hurricane is moving towards the Florida coast.
