We’re approaching 2 weeks since Hurricane Fiona came to Puerto Rico. More than 250k are still without electricity, according to Luma.
The south & west regions won’t get full power restored until the end of next week. We hear accounts every day of how hard life is w/o the basics.

For about a year and a half, I worked at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum here in D.C. as a visitor services representative. On my first day, I was walking with my supervisor, who nudged me at one point and said: "See that guy? That's Henry. Make sure you talk to him." (thread)
