sail7seas Posted August 22, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I have San Juan/Puerto Rico in my thoughts as they are currently experiencing Hurricane Irene. Prayers all are safe and there is minimal damage. I'd hate for there to be a severe hit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainforestgirl Posted August 22, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I have San Juan/Puerto Rico in my thoughts as they are currently experiencing Hurricane Irene. Prayers all are safe and there is minimal damage. I'd hate for there to be a severe hit there. Thanks for your thoughts- luckily we were spared a lot of really serious damage. Lots of flooding, downed trees, some land slides, but no loss of life reported. Still many without power and water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOlson70 Posted August 23, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 23, 2011 We have two optical labs in Puerto Rico, one in San Juan, one in Caguas, and then our lens manufacturing facility in Ponce. I texted our lab manager there this afternoon and he reported no major damage, just no power and water like RFGirl also reported. Glad to hear it wasn't severe.

Aviator of the Seas Posted August 23, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Airport's open, piers are open, hotels are up and running, electricity is being restored at a quick pace, schools open tomorrow. Just a lot of debris to be removed and many people without power up in the hills, but otherwise, all's well. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amapola Posted August 23, 2011 #5 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I live smack dab in the middle of San Juan (not a hill in sight :D) and lost electric power last night, still not back. We had power yesterday, though :confused:. Oh, and we lost cable (the horrors!!!) when the power went out (but had cable all day yesterday). ISP is going strong :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
