The Puerto Rican government knows these are vulnerable. Yet, does nothing to stop the new structures from being built.

Wow! You should get cameras down the right away since global warming is coming on fast. Can you get a time lapse of the sea rising to flood it by the end of next week - maybe have Pixar help...

o you mean the report just issued by this pathetic excuse for a government? the one that for some reason says we're going to hell in an hand basket despite what trump wants to believe? that report?

That structure is vulnerable to a strong wind. 💨

Puerto Rico should do something about it. Prepare.

Puerto Rico puts Hurricane Maria — and the bulk of the recovery — behind itThe island has reached pre-storm levels for cruises and flights, and about 75 percent of hotels are open. hmmm... so much about how tourists can comfortably pretend everything is fine once again... nothing about the recovery (or lack thereof) to the more remote areas and conveniently makes it sound like the hurricane killed 3000+, not the US gov. what a misleading title The island is definitely much better. Roads need some help, but the holiday spirit this year is shining bright! US needs to update Merchant Marine Act of 1920 (Jones Act) to enable mid/long term economic growth of Puerto Rico.
