Thank you!@ Ursuline
X 2, I kind of feel guilty that we didn't really have any problems and still have no idea how uglyduckling is doing, I guess we can only hope and pray and keep her in our thoughts.Never a bother. we've been hangin out here chatting and just hoping and praying to hear from her.

Started to compliment you on your avatar pic, and realized, I think it's a wild fire! While the photo is great, I hope you are not in harm's way!
Here's what I've learned. Communications are getting better but still horrible. People are leaving the island to get their kids into schools in the conus. The death toll is still very small—but communications makes it hard to know if that's accurate. Relief efforts are slow at best. It's getting better but still shortages of drivers and impassible roads. Military is moving equipment that does not require improved port access to get land based equipment that can get through the mess on shore. There's been no effort to move linemen in to work on power at this juncture as they need poles, trucks, transformers, etc before sending the workers. Military and relief are providing generators and fuel as rapidly as they can. I have not yet talked directly with my friend from San Juan, but her accounts suggest a really long haul to recovery. She's currently overwhelmed, moving her family to the DC area and getting the kids back into school. Wish I had better info...
This is still so helpful, as it gives some hope. Some info is better than none. We all know it will take a long time for PR to get back to anything that resembles normal. Thank you
