Puerto Rico hurricane season starts today. 11,000 Puerto Ricans are still without power

Hurricane season has officially begun in Puerto Rico, where some 11,000 people remain without power after Hurricane Maria storm hit the island nearly eight months ago. Officials said it could take another two months to fully restore power to Puerto Rico’s 3.3m residents, extending what is already the longest blackout in US history. It’s teetering,” said Hector Pesquera, Puerto Rico’s commissioner of public safety.
