FAJARDO, Puerto Rico: Hurricane Dorian bore down on Wednesday on the US territory of Puerto Rico, where residents braced for a direct hit, the first since the island was ravaged two years ago by Hurricane Maria.
"Heavy rainfall over portions of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands could produce flash flooding through Thursday morning," the US National Hurricane Centre said, adding that Dorian is gradually moving away from the northeastern Caribbean Sea. Carmen Donos, 49, left a Fajardo supermarket with a shopping cart carrying"my little basic things, and some sweets for when I'm anxious because the lights have gone out."
Puerto Rico is one of the most corrupt places on earth. Their political system is broken and their politicians are either Incompetent or Corrupt. Congress approved Billions of Dollars last time, more than anyplace else has ever gotten, and it is sent to Crooked Pols. No good!....Former governor Ricardo Rossello was forced to resign last month in part because of criticism over his handling of the emergency created by Maria.
A study accepted as valid by the government, which initially put the death toll at 64, estimated that nearly 3,000 people died as a result of the hurricane and the months of disruption that followed. Moving northwest, it is forecast to dump 10-15 centimetres of rain on Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, and up to eight inches on the coastal southeastern United States.
