I lived in Ramey for 9 months in 1989. Really liked the area.
How did Ramey fare?

Also, Hugo went through Puerto Rico in 1989. In your opinion, which was worse? Hugo or Irma?

Thank you for your AARs.

I think you meant Maria (rather than Irma). From my mom and sisters in Puerto Rico, they told me Irma (the storm before Maria, and which never actually touched the island, as its eye passed 30+ miles North of San Juan) was worse than Hugo (which I actually was in PR for, and is the worst I experienced in person.) Hugo was a glancing blow, as its eye entered the NE corner of PR, but essentially bounced off El Yunque.

Maria was a knockout punch, in the style of 1998's hurricane Georges, except Maria packed 145+ mph winds, compared to Georges's 110+.

My sister told me, as bad as Irma was, Maria was many times worse.
