A portable ham radio would have come in handy.

It’s hard to believe that the whole island did not have at least one or two AM radio stations that could survive a big storm.

That went out of style with Clinton’s “Peace Dividend”.

There was one AM radio station that continued to broadcast regularly throughout and after the storm. WAPA 680 AM.
