The Army Corps of
Engineers is ending its work to rebuild Puerto Rico’s electric grid, despite
residents’ fears that the island’s government won’t be able to restore power on
its own to more than 16,000 people who remain blacked out eight months after Hurricane
Maria.

Puerto Rico with hurricane recovery unfinished
Most of those still
without power live in the town of Yabucoa, which was the first place in Puerto
Rico struck by Hurricane Maria on Sept. 20.
Alberto Rodriguez, a
65-year-old retiree, has solar panels and a diesel generator supplying power to
the house where he takes care of his wife, who is confined to bed after
suffering a stroke a month after the hurricane.
“I’m very worried
because we are still without power. We’ve been using these generators for so
long, at any moment they might fail,” he said. “I don’t think they should leave
before completing the work because there are people here still waiting for electricity.”
