Hurricane Maria has left Puerto Rico in a complete mess.
According to an article I read, Puerto Rico has four power plants. Two of them are functional, but the transmission lines that take the power out of the plant are down. Two others suffered water damage and are non functional.
They have at least one hydropower dam.....that's the one you have probably seen news stories about. It hasn't collapsed yet, but they are still uncertain.
As best I can tell from the news, it has been five days, and literally no one is receiving electric power from the grid. It's all from generators, and fuel is scarce. 3.5 million people cannot live on an island of that size without electricity. This is a catastrophe of at least Katrina proportions, and probably worse.
As of today, there is no word yet on whether or not they stood during any playing of the national anthem.
