Somebody was asking about the status of Puerto Rico's power problems. The article sums it up pretty well, there are still some folks that don't have power almost 10 months after Maria hit. They also mentioned a bunch of folks lost power when the remnants of tropical storm Beryl hit a few weeks back. If a weak tropical storm could cause issues, that's telling me the replacement grid isn't going to be much better than the grid was before Maria.

If they get hit again, it's likely they'll be right back in the same boat. Sad.

Maybe they should work on an underground grid once they're back up and going?
