    Its been raining since Friday night. It is still raining. Collective PTSD from hurricanes Irma and Maria is at high. Almost everything, everywhere is flooded. 100% of the Island was without power, most of it still is. We are.  The hurricane is moving so slow, that the flooding is going to be/it already is in many areas worse than hurricane Maria. Since yesterday, many have no water.

    The only "good" thing is that miraculousy we still have cellphone/data service.
    That's why I still havent lose it. Ha!

    So, hello. Thoughts and good vibes are welcome.

      I am glad your okay as best as it can be. I thought of you when the news was broadcast last night. The vids were not looking good. Keeping you, family, and the island in prayers!

      All my hopes for the most favorable outcome for the residents of Puerto Rico in the face of the storm.

      Hopefully, Joe Biden and his administration are offering more than just rolls of paper towels this time.

      I see you're talking about the storm damage. I thought your title was about the Liberal Dark Side. ;-o

      Best wishes.

    It is still raining.  Additional flooding and wind gusts happening. Still no power for most of the Island.

      Stay safe. Hopefully the rain subsides soon, power returns and the clean up can begin.

    I'm so sorry you are having to go through this again. We've still not restored everything damaged by Hurricane Sally in 2020, so I feel your pain. Prayers for you and yours -- stay safe.

      I hope things are getting better now. If they aren’t, I hope that they get better very soon for you and everyone else who is affected.

        At last is not raining that much. Most of the Island is still without power. Many without water and still many flooded areas.

        Hurting but surviving, going forward. That's what we do.
