Parts of Puerto Rico won't have power before late May
AKIPRESS.COM - Some areas of Puerto Rico will not see power until as late as the end of May, about eight months after Hurricane Maria pummeled the island, ABC News reported.
In a series of tweets, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said today that “achieving 95% restoration in areas with challenging terrain like Arecibo and Caguas, will take until mid-April and late-May respectively.”
About 95 percent of the island will see energy restoration by the end of March, the Army Corps of Engineers previously said.
The island’s 3.5 million residents were plunged into complete darkness when Maria made landfall as a Category 4 storm on Sept. 20.
