HURICANE Maria

Recommended Posts

Early reports say no threat to US mainland but Jose battered shorelines to get another hit.  Caribbean not so lucky.  One Euro model show Jose and Maria doing a dance off coast before it ends.  Mariachi requests anyone?

Maria's track seems very similar to Irene's track in 2011.. Irene was only a cat 1 when passing Puerto Rico. Weather channel said they can not rule out an east coast land fall at this point in time.  Something to think about..

Puerto Rico is going to be hit hard. 51st state after this

Can they get federal disaster relief funding without being a state?

Certainly, they are part of the US.

The Federal government is the source for about 25% of Puerto Rico's budget as it is.  They really don't want to become a state.
