MARIA DESTROYS HOMES, TRIGGERS FLOODING IN PUERTO RICO...



This gut wrenching because I have a lot of family that live there.  
Yahoo News reports hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico on Wednesday and left the entire island without power, bringing deadly winds and pounding rain that sent thousands scurrying to shelters.
Maria slammed into Puerto Rico's southeast coast at daybreak before churning across the US territory which is home to 3.4 million people.
