As this goes on, and more will come, info is important. Anyone know of any Ham Radio operators down there?

Rather curious about this.

Yes, we only were without power 24 hours.
I live near Western plaza in Mayag眉ez.
The AEE is very close to me.

They probably figure you go there and give them hell about it

Everyone notice that the Jones Act was suspended 2 days ago to facilitate foreign vessels fuel delivery into FL?

I read it was a week long suspension for Puerto Rico, did not hear it was also for florida

Didn't read about lifting it for PR but that would be great and even greater if it was made permanent.

I Agree!!!! The Jones Act really hurts the people/economy ALOT over the long haul.

Well 20 million people go thru 15million gallons at 1/2 a gallon a piece in about 1 second .
Pulling the trucking restrictions on long distance haulers , is kool , but will only be temp.
As to PR didn't hear that either myself and it makes little difference.

A load of gas stations in PR lied to people about being sold out a week before the storm them stung everyone 2 days before the storm at 4 times a liter of fuel.聽 聽Now that needs to be regulated and prosecuted .
Lie for the ones of you who know Rincon , the gas station leaving town on the 412 and 115 corner was caught mixing collected waste oil from multiple gas stations into the fuel he sells .
Paid a $million $ fine never went before聽 a judge ,and never stopped pumping fuel.聽 聽 Maybe these things should be resolved .

A good friend of mine, an architect, is a HAM radio freak.

But... the cell phone networks are fully operational, never went down actually. Communication is no problem. Live is almost back to normal. Stores are operational, roads accessible.

The main problem is the crappy state of the electrical grid and the water system. Then again, what's new? It has been bad "forever". I'm completely used to power & water outages and I'm always ready for it.

Could you PM me his station ID?

In this new USA Today article, there are several different photo collages about Irma.

Scroll down to the ones about Irma and Caribe, 48 fotos in all. The best fotos of the horror across the Caribbean, and 5 of Fajardo, PR which I did not realize was hit as hard as the pics show. But nothing compared to the rest.
