Puerto Ricans from town in ‘terrible destruction’ after Hurricane Fiona in despair over initial exclusion from aid

SAN GERMÁN, Puerto Rico — Jorge Luis Rivera, his wife and two young daughters were trapped for two days inside their home after Hurricane Fiona battered their farm, downing large trees and dragging floodwaters, asphalt and hard-earned crops down the sloping road in front of their property.

from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, based on the major disaster declaration requested by Puerto Rico's governor and approved by President Joe Biden Thursday. Most of the towns excluded were in the southwestern region, where Hurricane Fiona entered and left incalculable devastation. Gone were hundreds of avocados, the coffee, the eggplants, zucchini and other crops Rivera produces and sells to the community, mostly to nearby restaurants. What remains is also going to waste, as his usual customers have no power or water to reopen their businesses.

Seventy-eight percent, or 1,035,743 customers, have had their water service restored as of Saturday morning, according to the “While we are able to provide them with the materials, they need to fix their roofs, all they can do is set up these blue tarps,” he said.

Well Puerto Rico, vote for Biden again 🙄. Maybe you'll get a different result. Or not. I've been there and I liked it. I hope you recover well. However if you're depending on the Biden Administration, good luck with that 😉.

Still?!

Last time I checked. It was Trump who went to P.R. and all he did was throwing toilet paper to his fellow Puerto Ricans.

Hmmmm!?!?!?
