SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Puerto Rico was on Friday battling dangerous flooding after Hurricane Maria ravaged the island, as the death toll there jumped to 13 and authorities rescued nearly 700 people from high waters.
Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello called Maria the most devastating storm in a century after it destroyed the United States territory's electricity and telecommunications infrastructure.
