There are over 70,000 in the direct path of the dam if it breaks/gives way. Good Lord, how do you pass the word to that many folks without modern ways to communicate?
Currently authorities are trying to bus them out...but where to for crying out loud? The entire island is in dire circumstances...
On top of a mountain? With no shelter? Food? Water? ETC!!!
Have Mercy!

How much more devastation can that poor island take?

I'm just sick that things are going from horrendous to even worse. I spent the morning crying about my extended family in Puerto Rico. My elderly uncle is tied to his oxygen tank and other machines. I've adored him my entire life. The generator in his building broke. I haven't heard if they were able to open a port so that gasoline and food and living supplies could be brought in.
I can't talk about this any more right now because I'm so upset and just writing this has turned the waterworks on again.

I just read the 'National Weather Service' agency urged residents in the area to "move to higher ground now" in an alert posted on its website.
So, under the conditions the entire island is under, anyone want to guess how many folks would have gotten the alert?
Oh yeah, right...there just MUST be a town cryer with a bell making the announcement to one and all...
SMH at the insanity...

Dire situation. Praying for this island and Mexico City.

The people of PR probably need help more than people in any other area. I wish we could make donations just for them.

Praying for these people! The only solution I can see is to evacuate the entire island via boats to stateside. They cannot live there ...no power, no water and no way can it be done anytime soon. We have to get them out
