A POSITIVE story about East Coast Hurricane




Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast in 2012 and devastated Manhattan and other neighboring cities.  This article illustrates how they are rebuilding the houses that had been obliterated by Sandy.  This is wonderful news.  But 6 years later?????!

The devastation that 2017 Hurricane Maria wrought on "is regarded as being the worst natural disaster on record." 

Recent news articles have uncovered the death total in Puerto Rico was so egregiously understated at  60 deaths just after the hurricane but is estimated now at approximately 4,500 people.  A majority of the citizens of Puerto Rica are living in hideous conditions: 
  • there is very poor access to medicine and health care workers.
  • their homes were destroyed and now they are living with dozens in the assortment of small houses that weren't devastated by the huricane
  • they have not had water and other utility services (water, etc) restored
The blame for the inhumane response trump, republicans and all americans. Puerto Rican's are statuary citizens when the US designated P.R. to be US territory,

Puerto Rico still needs our help as does Haiti.  Please read this article:  https://www.snopes.com/news/2018/06/04/death-toll-hurricane-maria-puerto-rico/
