Hurricane Maria may have set Puerto Rico back decades: "The entire population is still without power and engineers say it could take months to be restored. A dam remains in danger of collapsing. Shipments of food, water and generators are starting to arrive at the main port in San Juan, which has reopened." ( BBC)

" In a matter of hours, Hurricane Maria wiped out about 80 percent of the crop value in Puerto Rico."

  • N.Y. Times Quote of the Day ... José A. Rivera, a farmer on the southeastern coast of Puerto Rico, who said Hurricane Maria had knocked down almost all of his 14,000 plantain trees and destroyed his yam and pepper crops: "Sometimes when there are shortages, the price of plantain goes up from $1 to $1.25. This time, there won't be any price increase: There won't be any product."
