Breaking:Confirmed reports that entire Puerto Rico is without power! Hurricane Fiona now bearing down on Dominican Republic! pg5

They wont become a state because the GOP wont vote for statehood because it would give the Democrats two more senators.

Well looks like about 1-2 weeks without power!

Cold water, no light after 6:30, manage the generator to maintain 6 hrs on, the rest off..

And I Think the season will last until November!

I beg to differ. They want to make it a Demoncrat
state.

Is part of the US...lol

Are you kidding me?

IDK if they pay taxes, but it's a US territory.

Yes it’s a territory, but not a state, which does not make it “part of the United States.”

Only it's not true.

A guy in Florida???...lol

"Not long before the lights went out, Abner Gomez, head of public safety and crisis management at LUMA Energy, which operates Puerto Rico's power grid, said utility authorities plan to repair and restore electricity with the help of local government agencies. "

""Puerto Rico is 100% without power due to a transmission grid failure from Hurricane Fiona," the website said.
Gov. Pedro Pierluisi confirmed the outage in a tweet, noting the entire electric system was out of service and officials have activated the proper protocols to work to restore power."

Have you heard anything from him? I have a friend in Puerto Rico but haven't heard anything at all from them. Hoping and praying they both are ok.

Good lord give it up, they are United States Citizens, you are splitting hairs

Thank you! You're right!

No it's not. I've given up on crazy conspiracies after 22yrs of listening to them and how they NEVER pan out as described by the crazies. Doom off!!

Massive power outages and flooding aren't really Doom Off.

But, they are also not proof of "weather wars", either, of course.

I am on a cruise ship headed to the Bahamas. K
I thought they would divert us but not as of yet.

Seas are a bit rough and we are getting rain off and on. If it gets bad I will try and post some videos or go live somehow if the onboard wifi holds up

Thank you op for all you do. This is catastrophic.

Wtf did Puerto Rico do to deserve all this catastrophe?! Are they a micro study in motion?

Good thing their emergency vehicles aren’t electric! Yet

I know a Porto Rican girl. She told me they've always flicked the switch to cut the power off when winds get up to a point, then it takes 24 hours for their fragile grid to boot up. We make a big deal about it here, the press makes it a blood bath, but it's how it's always been. People there hate it, but they know it. Don't trust the Hispanic crisis actors.

For what it's worth, I have a customer in Dorado. I just checked on his stuff. I was able to access the system so at least where he is, there is still power and internet. He does have a whole house generator, but his Claro Fiber Internet service is still working....I wouldn't think they have all that infrastructure on generators....
