Re: Titofan and his country have been hit very, very hard: waiting to hear from him!
without wanting to turn this into a soppy and emotional one, although we've been having some fun with @brocktonblockbust on other threads , respect to him that he started this thread showing his concern for Tito. It's brought all the Saddo family together in wishing for the best for our Puerto Rican Brother and his family and countrymen.
Considering most of us have never met and probably will never meet each other, it's amazing how much we are in each others thoughts .
(his predictions are still way off mind you! ;):p )

You are getting through it well Tito. I hope you know none of the banter between us was meant to be hurtful. Well maybe on your part it was, but on my part it was just miles pretending to be miles. I am not able to sustain proper wars like I used to. From now on I shall call you Noah.

Yes the news coverage was more than thorough. You do what you have to do at least your wife's office building has some kind of signal to the outside world. I'm wondering how the ATMs are functioning without any electrical current. What about the airports? Are there flights in and out yet? For example if you wanted to take a flight to Florida would that be a big deal would that be something that is impossible to orchestrate? If the airports are functioning are there even any people that can get the cash together after the ATMs of the banks might be shut down to actually pay for tickets to fly out of there in an easy matter? Or perhaps are there delays going for weeks and weeks to try to get on flights heading out?
Well, I don't mean it'll be drastically different in some ways. But some things may never fully recover, or may take a very looooong time. Manufacturing was already taking a hit even before Maria, and the economy was in bad shape. Now it can only go south from there. I wouldn't be surprised if some pharma companies decided to just uproot and move their operations elsewhere. Tourism was also dealt a major blow. Many major hotels and resorts up and down the coast are closed, some without a clear date for reopening. It's sad. Migration, which was already pretty high even before the hurricanes (yes... Irma slammed us too), is sure to pick up even more. I've got a close friend who is seriously considering uprooting his family and moving to the States.
The international airport is back to 100% function, thank goodness. It had been affected also, with some of the control center capabilities having been damaged by Maria. It's been a real drag, bro.
BTW, if I hadn't mentioned it..... thanks for starting up this thread. I always knew you had a soft spot in your heart. ;D
Just kidding bro. I know you're a caring human being, just like the rest of us. Even if we hide it under our cyber-bullying selves. ;D
