As a Texan, I am grateful for all the aid ...

[marble falls]

... but is there any significant aid going to Puerto Rico yet?

[blm]

1. Biden released the money Trump was holding back.

2. Makes me feel a lot better.

4. Are you committing to refuse all aid?

Or is this all a ploy to "feel better" about taking it?

[LakeArenal]

6. Hell to the no.

8. I won't be taking any, but it's complicated

FEMA is providing drinking water.
Because of this, bottled water is returning to stores.
We have water and no longer need to boil.

We did not have any damage to our home. ..
Unless you consider my tropical plants..lol

People who had burst pipes will qualify for FEMA assistance.

No one knows what the feds will do about utility bills. The governor says outrageous bills are not acceptable. Our utility is holding off calculating the bills for the storm period. I think most people can afford an increase of 25% or so, but 500% is crazy. That is just outright greed and I wonder if it is even legal?

9. I didn't even think about plants.

I saw a picture of a completely frozen fish tank.

How cold did it get outside?

10. Nine degrees here, but we had freezes every night for 6 nights.

The highest temp between Sunday and Thursday was 35.

The average annual low where I live is about 25 degrees. A one night deal, followed by warming the next day. Not cold enough, long enough to kill alot of tropicals.

11. 9 is a lot colder than a lot of cold places have been this year.

Can't imagine going through it with no heat.

12. The coldest my house got was 44

I'm from Wisconsin and my room up there had icicles on the inner sill all winter long, and I could see my breath. (It was pretty pathetic and I was always sick) Our house in WI had heat, but my dad kept it at 55 and my room was over the garage.

My house here did not approach that kind of cold.

[ananda]

13. Wow. I'm impressed. When it got to 48 here...

I had to go live in my car.

Then I got power and heat again.

You are a warrior.

[Hortensis]

7. Yes. Incredible that our fellow citizens and others in PR have been so abused

for so long. We've "freed up" $1.3 billion that was supposed to be theirs for rebuilding and also released restrictions Trump/Repubs placed on over $4 billion.

3. As an American i'm super proud to be helping citizens like yourself.

The QRUMP like people from your Gov. on down are the ones i have problems with!! Best wish's to you and family!

[Wounded Bear]

5. I have never had any problem with disaster relief sent anywhere...

I hope your fellow Texans can dig out of this hole and start electing Dems again. Maybe then you can have a decent state government.
