The eyewall of Maria has just been recorded over the Puerto Rican island of Vieques, according to the latest update from the US National Hurricane Center. 

It is currently around 85 miles southeast of the Puerto Rican capital of San Juan, according to the National Hurrican Centre (NHC).

“The only thing that matters is the safety of your family, and your children, and yourself. The rest of the stuff, forget it.”
