FOX Weather Correspondent Nicole Valdes introduces us to her family and many in Puerto Rico whose lives were forever changed by the heart-breaking devastation of Hurricane Maria in 2017. This is the story of a torturously slow re-construction, a massive bureaucracy, and an army of volunteers and residents who refuse to give up hope. #foxweather #weather

Mrs. Valdes, I was the Director of Aviation for Mammoth and Cobra Aviation. We were contractors from the U.S. that were awarded the contracts to repair and rebuild the Electrical Infrastructure across the island of PR. I personally managed all of our aviation assets that helped fix the Electrical Infrastructure after hurricane Maria. Me and my aviation crews were there for about 10 moths. Personally, I can tell you first hand that we dealt with corruption, scandals and many hurdles from the PR government and PREPA. I fell in love with the Puerto Rican people, culture and the lands while there. I have flown every square inch of the island via a helicopter. Traveled by jeep to the hardest hit areas. Delivered food and water to these damaged zones. I would love to give you my side of the story of what I saw, heard and witnessed while on the great Island of Puerto Rico. Such a tragedy what these good folks are going through. Viva PR! Reach out to me if you want.

Dear Mrs. Valdes, I would like to apllaud your Report, You've managed to give all of us Puerto Ricans an Insight, that has been hidden from us. My Family Comes from Mayagüez, Puerto Rico and this City also has not seen any Progress, since the Hurricane destroyed the Island. I am Stationed in Germany and have served in Our Armed Forces abroad. I thank you and hope that you will still keep on Reporting on the Progress of our Beloved Puerto Rico. Que Víva Puerto Rico Siempre! Help Fight Corruption and Puerto Rico should become the 51st State, so that Funds can be distributed quicker. Hoping that Congress and the FBI stop those whom are stealing the Money that is much needed for all of the Puerto Ricans that are still suffering not only from Hurricane Maria, the Earthquakes and also Fiona, but on a Daily Basis - Hoping to see more of your Reporting. Que Dios todo poderóso te Ampáre Sra. Valdes y Muchisimas Gracias por dárnos este Reporte. Saludos desde Alemania un Boricua Sirvíendo a su Patria.Cariñosamente - Ramón Ortiz-Soto

A lot of Peurto Ricos problems is it is the government! The power grid is government ran!! As part of the US they should be a prosperous island but due to years of voting for corrupt politicians who enact socialist poverty creation policies the territory is very impoverished!
