Rachel reporting now death toll in PR could be in the hundreds.

Hundreds dying from lack of water and power.

1. She's pissed!

and thank goodness this is getting some attention!

[shenmue]

2. Shit

[Not Ruth]

3. It is in the thousands, the non hurricane death rate is 82/day in PR, so normal death toll is 2400

I figure on 2x due to the hurricane, 4800 is a conservative estimate

4. As of Monday USS Comfort with 7 patients, she's right this is a "no ones in charge" issue

[Not Ruth]

5. Every single person in the ICUs died, as has been reported on DU, hospitals are stacked with dead

[Thinkingabout]

6. I had heard there are many deceased people and this was a week or so back. A person can not live

many days without water and longer without food. Everyone of these people is blood on Trump's hands, it needs to be investigated by congress. He could have gotten help there before eleven days and then he only stopped the Jones act for 10 days. Trump is less than a loser.

[Not Ruth]

7. You die after 3 days without water

[Thinkingabout]

12. The water some are getting is not clean.

8. Good thing it's not a real disaster...

[bdamomma]

9. He has no regard

for people none whatsoever. It's really horrible that we at this time have this sick fuck in the WH.

This is not a reality based show it's more like he does not live in reality. Delusional is more like it. We all need this nightmare to go away...........sigh.

10. Donate for clean water here

In the wake of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, thousands of people are left without access to clean water. Our teams are massing an emergency response to get clean water filters to people in Puerto Rico.

The Waterbearers are teaming up with friends and supporters who have personal connections on the ground. Together with colleagues from the region we have launched an emergency response to provide access to clean drinking water to areas most affected. We've already seen some miracles from connecting water systems donated by us to people in dire need!

The first few weeks are crucial in stemming the spread of waterborne diseases and life-threatening dehydration. Portable water filtration systems will be placed in communities (both in shelters and residences) to mitigate the immediate suffering of the most impacted families.

PLEASE ACT NOW

Your involvement is critical to our success in helping this relief effort. Thank you again for your help and compassion.

11. We're making room for my wife's grandma to live with us

Minnesota winters suck, but being in your 80's without food, water or sewer in a subtropical climate is lethal.

My 7 yr old is bouncing off the walls with excitement to have Abulita sharing a room with her.
