From my Dad in Puerto Rico, 10/5/17:
"Half of Old San Juan has Power!! Not my section but good news anyway!!! No lines at gas stations! Banks are beginning to open! Yesterday Airport operated normally!!! 24/7 from now on!! 16,000 passengers left yesterday for USA! The Dam at Guajataca found to be in good shape! Will not break and kill 10,000 people as hysterical experts reported after the storm!!"
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!
Thank you for keeping up with this story. I only have internet access at work and we’re working on a compressed schedule trying to keep the industry going (tourism), so barely any time to freep and post my own updates. Gracias!
Here is another FR site with a detailed story about survival living in Ponce and a number of comments.

Great to see you check in. Looking forward to when you have some availability to share your experiences post Hurricane Maria.
