A number of U.S. territories and mainland states are still reeling from the impact of several hurricanes, each of which struck in the past few months. Texas and Florida are both grappling with a number of deaths along with billions of dollars in damage. Even worse off are the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The Virgin Islands are still facing power and water shortages on a horrifying scale; one island, St. John, has been in complete darkness for more than 40 days.
