Probably should've started this much sooner. But better late than never I guess.

My main reason for starting this is simply to provide a place for HF-ers to post info on the evolving situation in Puerto Rico. I'll be posting mainly news clips from the major networks in the US, and from other parts of the world where applicable.

Comments and posts by others are welcome. Please keep posts along purely political lines to a minimum though.
