    OMG that's terrible.

    I know they're a territory and all, but do they have a National Guard unit for this kind of stuff? And if not, whose job is it to protect them? The US Army? And if so, why aren't they down there.

    I mean, FEMA? Trump? Anyone? They are part of the US. All I can do is donate canned goods and plasma (which I've been doing since Harvey) but doesn't he US government have some obligation to help down there?

    Tonight, my daughter-in-law got to speak to her grandmother in Puerto Rico.


    She wants to send her grandmother some water and some toiletries, etc. and she can't.

    There's no way to send items in - no mail - no deliveries.

    The frustration at not being able to help is setting in.

    I'd be in tears right now if that were my grandmother.

    11:00 am Tuesday 26 Sep.
    Official report by the government
    7th day after the passage of #Maria

    - the medical center has electrical energy and other main hospitals as well.
    - electric power distribution plants are up and lit, while 80 % of the distribution lines are fell and have to be restored gradually and that is why it would take so long to restore the electric service.
    - 500,000 with drinking water 45 % of the country
    - most of the telecommunications antennas are in good condition... just need to bring electric power or gasoline to their plants.
    - 450 open gas stations... long rows due to distribution problems, but there's plenty of gas in ports.
    - food and water continues to arrive and today begins to be distributed over 40 different areas with great needs.
    - firefighters and national guard from other states of usa are on their way to the island to continue to add aid and hands.

    I saw the title of a video that said the supplies are sitting in warehouses. That's all I could get from the video because it's in Spanish.

    Also, there was this post today: This post is for everyone who needs first-need items... in the comments put their township and exact area so that the government has a picture of where the help has not come and they need it.

    Some guy named Pitbull is using his private jet to fly cancer patients in PR to the US mainland so they can keep up with their chemotherapy treatments.

    Yeah I saw that. Pitbull rocks, whoever he is. Is he Puerto Rican, I wonder?

    I think this post was calling Pittbull a bullshitter and trying to glamorize himself.
