I never knew San Juan before the hurricane, but my guess is that those looking for the city they knew before the storm will not find it. Locals I met, like Ms. Rivera Vásquez and her friend Francisco Muñoz-Torres, a statistician and bar owner, pointed out the “Dr. They looked like trees normally look.”A quiet night drinking with friends was no longer something locals took for granted. For 10 days after the hurricane, the Puerto Rican government had imposed not only a curfew, but also dry laws. All along the highway were billboards ripped to shreds and giant metal signs felled and crumpled in the medians.
