Everybody knows this is the worst time to visit the the Caribbean
Them flights were cheap for a reason
nothing about their power grid (probably because they privatized all that like someone said)
just roads and increased broadband access were specified for PR.
Biden did immediately declare a state of emergency and has sent FEMA in.
terrible luck for them though... they and the Virgin Islands might end up being the only part of the US that gets hit by a hurricane down there this year, since that thing is not likely to hit continental US and it wasn't even that strong. might have been a TS when it hit.
wish them the best.

I was there in April and the power was out for a whole day , even in Condado, off of a normal ass rain storm
PR seemed underrated to me but more people started going after the pandemic it seems, hopefully the influx of new money from tourists and gentrifiers can do something about the problems they have

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced a slate of solar companies and nonprofits selected to install rooftop solar and battery storage systems for vulnerable households in Puerto Rico through the Puerto Rico Energy Resilience Fund (PR-ERF). The first tranche of PR-ERF funding, up to $440 million, will help lower energy bills for 30,000–40,000 single-family households in Puerto Rico, improve household energy resilience, and keep the lights on during extreme weather events. This funding will also support thousands of local clean energy jobs, help achieve President Biden’s goal of lowering energy costs for all Americans, as well as help Puerto Rico achieve its goal of 100% renewable energy by 2050. DOE anticipates the first installations will begin in Spring 2024.
This marks the first round of selections from the 2023 PR-ERF Funding Opportunity Announcement, which Secretary Granholm announced in Puerto Rico in July 2023. Eligible beneficiaries of the systems to be installed will include very low-income, single-family households that are either:
