A post from my friend:
From my friend Eddie who just got back from PR- just so you know!
Hi everyone, my wife Grace, my in-laws arrived safely from PR last night. These last few weeks were a journey. Survival of the fittest. Please keep Puerto Rico in your prayers. I noticed the news media is giving false reports on the conditions of PR. More than 95% of the island is not receiving the help that was promised. There is no communication of any kind for the people. Claro which is a cell phone service has provide a cellphone signal for those that can get it. In my case I had to drive over 5 miles and pray that I got a signal. Sometimes I was lucky and got it. I was only able to send text messages and some went through. Thank you all for prayers.
