Winds of up to 85 miles an hour lashed Puerto Rico. Storm clouds stretched across the sky above the entire island.

Affected by the power outage were 1.5 million people, according to The New York Times.

Sports: Rams barely survive, 31-27

Jalen Ramsey’s over-the-top interception at the goal line saved the day for the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, preserving a 31-27 win over the Atlanta Falcons at SoFi Stadium.
