What is really going on in Puerto Rico and the news is upsetting and the stuff that gets features in normal folks nightmares
HORROR STORIES FROM PUERTO RICO
"I'm in Puerto Rico. I work as a power operator for the electric company. I have a 32 week pregnant wife, this is the first time since our collapse that face book news feed logged and updated. This is my top story. I am enraged and desperate.
First off, FEMA has federalized our gas and diesel channels. The lines at a gas station to fill your tank is around 12 hrs. I've done it twice. They have hoarded all resources and manpower meaning transportation truckers capable of supplying gas stations. FEMA right now has made the gas crisis horrible. I traveled far to find family members since communications are down.
There have been absolutely no drops of any supplies to anyone. At all. There has been no messages on radios nor speakers regarding supply drops or water. Jones Act prevents ships from around the world to come directly here without it stopping first in the US then having those supplies moved to a US shipping container and then sent here. So now the world can see the horror of that. They cannot send help directly and time is running out.
As I write this I’m on a ceiling of the third home I called home during this
disaster. As water and supplies and dangers arise we have to keep moving. My wife’s
best friend lost her pregnancy during this ordeal. Now I’m so terrified of my wife’s
pregnancy. I’ve no damn idea how in 7 weeks I’m gonna help my baby girl survive
this heat wave that never stops now we lost our vegetation and she cannot
travel because of advance stage pregnancy. I felt useless trying to console my wife because her bf baby died.
Btw thank you airlines for charging 2k for a plane ticket when they normally sell for 300 so people can get away. I can see the small island grande airstrip from here and see the little planes leave at all times, they are ferrying people to the Dominican republic and then fly to the states. Granted our main intl airport suffer the loss of the traffic control for 30 miles and commercial flights are hesitant to come. Thanks for the price hike. Get the damn army to put radar like in a war zone and get us moving.
Anyway. This is my rant. I'm just desperate. I hope it's not like what I heard at the bank line today that all trump said was that we need to pay Wall Street our debt while we are dying here and then he talks about peaceful protesters taking a knee on the anthem. Yeah, I just can believe that." This is the reality people are facing.
Below is a statement from somebody living this nightmare.
PEOPLE ARE DYING!! |
An eyewitness
account of the situation in Puerto Rico from a desperate American citizen whom
Trump says is not doing enough to help himself:

All condos have no diesel so no water can go up the pumps to flush. The smell
of shit and piss is beyond this hemisphere.
Because of no diesel we are having our sick dying in their homes. Some died bc of oxygen failures bc their generators eventually died but bc of no way to get a drop a single drop of diesel or gas for a week. I found most of them. I still after a week cannot see my mom, a mountainside of dead trees are in the way making it impassable. I called her she has food and water for a day more. That’s gonna be my mission tomorrow. Get my mother some food.

Most and I mean almost all trees in the island are dead. Meaning no vapor. No
clouds. No rain. We have to reforest immediately or we become a desert island.
A dead island. I cannot recall a day where I looked up and saw no clouds. It’s
been a week now and the sight is terrifying.
There have been absolutely no drops of any supplies to anyone. At all. There has been no messages on radios nor speakers regarding supply drops or water.

We have read stories of people having to BURY DECEASED LOVED ONES in their yards because they can't figure out what else to do with them. Their hopes is to have decent burials for them as soon as they can.
Puerto Rico needs all the love we can give them.
