Yeah, I forgot that he was in Puerto Rico! I hope he and his family are ok.
The authorities will be working on hospitals and streetlights first, so that domestic power may not come back for a long time. I once lived through a much milder hurricane and the city was without domestic power for two or three weeks. It came back piecemeal across the city, and so the inconvenience depended on where you lived; if your neighbour was the mayor, or the mistress of an electrical company boss, you got electricity back quicker than insignificant folk like me. I still remember those weeks; lots of conversations by candlelight, and the first question when you met someone was always, "Got any power yet?"
