I’m in San Juan, Puerto RicO RIGHT NOW.
I have running water. Good pressure and clean, potable.
I have gasoline.
I have cash.
My family is being fed three whole meals a day by our own hand. There are three open supermarkets within walking distance of my house. I can even get ice cream every afternoon from an itinerant vendor!
There’s a pizza place across a field from my house.
I have witnessed no riots. There are none.
I have witnessed no looting.
I live in midtown San Juan, what others would call the inner city, and nights are as quiet as in the country side.
My business is running. Air conditioned, telephones and internet up (on backup generator)
All my neighbors are pretty much the same. Everyone is helping each other.
And, believe it or not, I have been though a typhoon in Japan, and was there shortly after the tsunami of 2011 (September, specifically). At that time, all nuclear power plants were shut down and the whole country was suffering from critical electricity shortages. It was hot, it was miserable, and food was scarce. But you’re right. The Japanese handled it well. And so are we on the island.
Unbelievable that any Freeper can’t see beyond the filter of the press.
Not that Silvie’s mom’s situation is not accurate as described. But I can only relate my own situation.
And I had an ice cold beer for breakfast this morning!
Unbelievable that any Freeper can’t see beyond the filter of the press.
And enjoy your cold breakfast beer. Have a great day.
Satellite photos show the night time glow from the lighting in San Juan and a location in southwest PR. Otherwise darkness rules.
