I'm sure you will call it fake - I wish it were

Anonymous from Puerto Rico:

I'm in Puerto Rico. I work as a power operator for the electric company. I have a 32-week pregnant wife. This is the first time since our collapse that facebook newsfeed logged and updated. This is my top story.

I am enraged and desperate. First off, FEMA has federalized our gas and diesel channels. The lines at a gas station to fill your tank is around 12 hrs., and I've done it twice.

They have hoarded all resources and manpower, meaning transportation truckers capable of supplying gas stations. FEMA right now has made the gas crisis horrible.

I traveled far to find family members, since communications are down. All condos have no diesel, so no water can go up the pumps to flush. The smell is beyond this hemisphere.

Because of no diesel, we are having our sick dying in their homes. Some died [due to] oxygen failures because their generators eventually died, but because of no way to get a drop, a single drop, of diesel or gas for a week. I found most of them.

After a week, I still cannot see my mom because a mountainside of dead trees are in the way, making it impassable. I called her. She has food and water for a day more. That's gonna be my mission tomorrow: Get my mother some food.

Most, and I mean almost all, trees in the island are dead. Meaning no vapor. No clouds. No rain. We have to reforest immediately or we become a desert island. A dead island.

I cannot recall a day where I looked up and saw no clouds. It's been a week now and the sight is terrifying.

There have been absolutely no drops of any supplies to anyone. At all. There has been no message on radios or speakers regarding supply drops or water.

The Jones Act prevents ships from around the world to come directly here without stopping first in the US then having those supplies moved to a US shipping container and then sent here.

So, now the world can see the horror of that. They cannot send help directly and time is running out.

As I write this, I'm on the [top] of the third home I called home during this disaster. As water and supplies and dangers arise, we have to keep moving.

My wife's best friend lost her pregnancy during this ordeal. Now I'm terrified for my wife's pregancy. I've no damn idea how in seven weeks I'm gonna help my baby girl survive this heatwave that never stops.

Now we lost our vegetation. My wife cannot travel because of advanced-stage pregnancy. I felt useless trying to console my wife because her best friend's baby died.

By the way, thank you airlines for charging $2,000.00 for a plane ticket when they normally sell for $300.00 so people can get away.

I can see the small Isla Grande Airstrip from here and see the little planes leave at all times. They are ferrying people to the Dominican Republic and then fly to the States.

Granted, our main international airport suffered the loss of the traffic control for 30 miles and commercial flights are hesitant to come. Thanks for the price hike.

Get the damned army to put in radar, like in a war zone, and get us moving.

Anyway. This is my rant. I'm just desperate. I hope its not like what I heard at the bank line today: That all Trump said was that we need to pay Wall Street our debt while we are dying here. And then he talks about peaceful protesters taking a knee on the anthem.

Yeah, I can believe that.
