After being in the pathway of two major hurricanes back to back, Puerto Rico is devastated. Reports suggest that 100 percent of the population was without power after either Hurricane Irma or Maria, and this raw video footage seems horrible. Whole agricultural fields leveled, livestock killed, trees downed, and people scrambling for sustenance and potable water. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the 3.4 million people who live in this U.S. territory.
