Puerto Rico's main airport in San Juan opened Friday to military relief flights after the territory was battered this week by Hurricane Maria, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The Corps is planning to set up a headquarters at the airport as it assesses the storm's damage and will work with the territory's governor on the next step for the relief efforts, said Brig. Gen. Diana Holland, the commander of U.S. Army Corps' South Atlantic Division.
Some commercial flights were also landing at San Juan's Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, according to media reports.

Who cares, we have football players to worry about.
ReplyDeleteHope St Martins is taken care of as well. The devastation there is just plain total. Big picture, what to do with all the debris? The pile would be 1/4 the island! God help all of these people, and I'm sure we, as the USA and Salvation Army and charities other than the red cross will be there to help.
