PREPA is (from what I've been reading) is in terrible financial shape. They can
barely afford to have above ground transmission. Below ground is vastly more
expensive.

Most of that would have been damaged or destroyed too. I always wondered why
they don’t put more cable underground.

I always wondered why the Caribbean islands did not use more wind and/or

From what I'm hearing, the major issue is power, or the lack thereof.
Existing supplies of fuel for generators, etc. are in extremely short supply.
I've been hearing estimates of 6+ months to restore power, and that may be
optimistic.

Keep hearing of the lack of communication capability there, but 2 meter and

damage.�� Here in Utah, our county emergency center has fully functional

Actually most of Utah does as well as many groups of LDS church folk that

I have never used it, but I know there are HF methods to convey IP.�
Could certainly keep slow speed email going.�
