Agree the airport has no AC and most shops (food) are closed. If you look at the daily flight board most flights in and out are cancelled. It’s nice to see the flights down are carrying supplies. But with little news the people don’t even know how to get out. Told 2 friends who live there that the airport was open. They thought it was closed.I don’t want to be Debbie Downer, but their report o. Puerto Rico omits minor details like there’s no food, no water, no gas, a cerfew, and the fact that 95% of the island has no power.
While nothing they report is untrue, they sure do leave out a lot of very important details. One wonders how overly optimistic and rosey they are about other islands?
I don’t want to be Debbie Downer,
As survivor nicely mentioned many times, as someone on the ground, things are NOT OK.
On a news program this morning, a tourist in the San Juan airport said she was told there may not be flights for her until October. I can't imagine how stressful it must be for people who need to return to family and work as well as the those who lost everything in Puerto Rico.
It is easy to state that "electricity is back"

Thank you on behalf of,Wimco."YES - We should not be reporting on Puerto Rico - We only have relations on Airport Matters there. I'll get that taken down - The other
island reports are coming directly from our contacts on those islands, or in some cases from Government organs, and in some cases through reputable press. I would say that a solid 75% is coming from Property Managers, owners, local suppliers and people we know or who know us. I'd like to believe they are indeed accurate based on what we are told. I apologize for the Puerto Rico info. "
survivor -
Question. Noticed that the webcam looking over St Jean (toward Eden Rock) is VERY dark at night (pretty much only headlights). Is this because of lack of electricity or just lack of occupancy?
Ellen, we did hear that Lurin as of last night has electricity. I don't know how it works up there, but that sure is helpful to the folks living up there. Temporary band aids or new lines? Can't say because I do not know the details.
I hope your area lights up soon!
