After the devastation of Maria ( and following damage from Irma ) , it could take 4-6 months before electricity is restored to Puerto Rico !

Hurricane #Maria Advisory 19: Catastrophic Flash Flooding Occurring Over Portions of Puerto Rico. http://go.usa.gov/W3H
Hurricane #Maria Advisory 18A: Now available on the NHC website. http://go.usa.gov/W3H
Trail of destruction for sure...
Starting To receive images from Puerto Rico. My sister just sent me this. It’s from Utuado my hometown. #HurricaneMaria

If you have family in Puerto Rico, its Governor says the island will suffer nearly 100% power loss. No contact doesn't mean the worst.
