My goodness...Cypress....I think that all that is humanly possible is being done for Puerto Rico. And, gov pre hurricane help - was activated and stationed nearby before M. struck.
I bet in the long run, more money will be spent per person in PR than for Harvey or Irma. We can hope it will help those that choose to live in the paths of hurricanes in PR will be safer in the future as a result because apparently, the complete infrastructure will be rebuilt...hopefully to hurricane standards this time.
The suspension of the Jones Act just happened. http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/28/politics/puerto-rico-governor-white-house-jones-act-waiver/index.html
If this was so bad....and is a hundred year old law....why didn't this get changed years ago?
I know, it is complicated.....and we don't need to get into politics on this Board....
