Introduction:
The 2017 Hurricane Season was a memorable one for many in the Atlantic basin with 17 named storms, 10 hurricanes, and 6 major hurricanes. But, for Puerto Rico, it was especially memorable because of Hurricane Maria. The category 4 hurricane with winds of 155 mph pushed ashore near Yabucoa, Puerto Rico and became the deadliest and costliest hurricane in Puerto Rico’s history. Chief Meteorologist Ada Monzon covered the storm’s progression, landfall, and the lasting aftermath. Today we’ll explore the communication challenges she and others faced during and after the storm.
