I used to have to go to Puerto Rico back in the 80s. Not gonna lie you get out of San Juan and it's a tropical Paradise. They always had hurricanes. And always seemed to have weathered them fairly well.
I actually thought about moving there after Irma? or Hugo?, whichever one demolished it's rickety infrastructure. The whole build back better approach would have rebuilt a more robust infrastructure.
Now though, holy chyt, they get completely wiped out by anything that hits it. Fiona, while not trivial, is trivial as far as storms in history there.
They are totally without power. Again. And pleading for federal aid again. And Fiona is still there as of this writing.
PR is reminding me of New Orleans now. Once was a fine place that offered a lot. Slowly bled dry by it's government.
