Members in Puerto Rico

Has anyone had any communication with any of our members who live in Puerto Rico?

Sounds like the storm maintained a strong Cat4 the entire time it passed over Puerto Rico, pretty much as bad as it could get. I just read that the island is 100% without power. Combined with emergency response organizations already stretched thin by two other storms, this looks bad.

I know 3 people that live there, 2 from College that I have lost contact with, and one who happens to also be an IAP member (vallealbert) whom I have purchased many blanks from on eBay. I know a lot of you know Alexander as well. I think he is in San German, which looks like might have fared better than other locations. I'm hoping all three made it through the storm safe. Unfortunately, I think it might be quite some time before the communications are properly restored.

Yes, there's 100% power outage there. So, how do all the television networks still have the capability to still broadcast? With the power being out, I'm surprised that there is any way of contacting the outside world.

I guess I should have specified, the power grid is 100% down. Generators still work for those that have fuel, and satellites are still in space for communications....

My thoughts go their way.

I just heard from one of our members, Pancho, who is a participant on the Triple Start Tap & Die group buy.

He said it is hard to communicate using email, and said that it is easier to get in touch with people there using Facebook.

I was glad to hear that he had survived not one but two major hurricanes.
