Mudslide hits Puerto Rico neighborhood that Trump visited
Guaynabo, Puerto Rico (CNN)Torrential rains washed away weeks of clean-up and brought new problems for Puerto Ricans on Monday.
A small creek a few miles outside of San Juan became a raging river, picking up trees, pipes and rubble from a mountainside where they had been dumped after Hurricane Maria.
The debris added weight and force to a mudslide that took out a bridge in the Guaynabo neighborhood outside San Juan, stranding families who may now have to hike through mountainous, overgrown terrain to get food and water.
This is the working class part of the same neighborhood where President Trump tossed out rolls of paper towels earlier this month and then handed out lanterns, while telling people they did not need them any more.
Trump's approval rating on handling hurricanes plummets.
