the territory unleashing landslides and flooding. puerto rico's governor says the damage catastrophic. nbc's gabe gutierrez is tracking what people there are waking up to and the challenges still lingering. >> reporter: marcus and laura, good morning. this is what neighborhoods in southern puerto rico are waking up to, these downed trees, downed power lines. no drinking water. we actually even saw some rain here. thankfully floodwaters have most ly receded. many had to be rescued since hurricane fiona officially made landfall on sunday. the storm has now strengthened to a category 3, a major hurricane that is now bearing down on turks and caicos and here in puerto rico the governor says most of the island is still without power or drinking water. he expects, though, that will be restored in days not months like it took after hurricane maria which, by the way, was exactly five years ago today. five years ago hurricane maria slammed into this island and there has been widespread frustration among many residents here that the power grid was not more effectively rebuilt following hurricane maria. again, that big question will be how long will it take for power to be restored? luma energy says it has been restoring power. it's been restoring power to more than 100,000 people since the storm hit but there are still millions of people without power here in puerto

that moving closer to bermuda over the next few days. a lot of areas in the impact zone of that storm. as we take a look at our forecast for us this morning, we are going to see temperatures in the low 50s in santa rosa as you step out the door. we've seen at times a mix of sun and clouds and even a little bit of rain off and on. that trend continues today. it will feel humid as you are walking out. we are also watching out for the potential of those pop-up showers although not everyone will see that. the highest chance will be over parts of the east bay as well as the north bay and santa rosa may be dealing with some of that rain at about 3:00 this afternoon. but if you have the nbc bay area app you can actually get alerts as that rain approaches your location. we will be watching that for you this morning as you get ready to head off work. mike is watching where you can find lower gas prices. >> i'm hunting. harder and harder to find under $5. santa clara, $4.89 at the diamond
