It was a perfect storm (pardon the pun) scenario, bro. Cat 5 hurricane.... less than perfect infrastructure.... worst path possible right through the island (no town was spared).
I had suffered through Hugo (1989) and Georges (1998 ), but they all bow to Maria.

Unbelievable. No place in America ever had such Devastation but Americans like to whine and complain about little things like a little bit of flooding

Adding to the misery was that communications were completely knocked out. Family members and friends living Stateside were horrified watching the TV coverage, and then not being able to reach anyone down here. The loss of communications wreaked havoc on gasoline and goods deliveries, which amplified the problems for millions of us here. I'm telling you bro, there was a lot of anguish during those first days/ weeks.

Still.... I'm thankful we don't have any tornadoes down here.

Tornadoes are the assholes of major weather events. A flood hits everyone, a hurricane hits everyone, tsunami, earthquake, everyone.....a tornado is like fuck Dave's house, fuck George's house, you're ok Tyler, you're ok Jane.....fuck you Todd!



I'm glad that you are ok. We get tornadoes here all the time. They are not as dramatic looking as they are out west. The hills keep them from doing as much damage too.

Well I finally heard it was a tornado with a nine mile swath top winds estimated at 129 and over. My area looks like a FEMA project. Still no power and I think it’ll be a week at least already been 3 days. Also cell service sucks. Must have lost a toweR. I’m quite lucky. Cut my car out of the tree that fell on it, dent on the trunk and a few scratches, much better than the people down the street who when u drive by the house you can see into the living room. Mother Nature is tough, I give her a lot of credit

Glad you didn't end up with your boots sticking out from underneath a wooden house anyways. We are lucky in the UK to never get extreme weather. Extremely monotonous at times but nothing like you guys on the other side of the pond get.
