the situation in Puerto Rico is so sad… 😕
the people there just can’t seem to catch a break…
every time I read about Puerto Rico I think about our old board buddy “janerami”…
Jane stopped posting a long time ago, but I know a few of you still communicated with her - I think llyan did…
so, how is Jane?
is she still living in PR or did she finally move back stateside to be with her family?
if anyone has any info, could you please post it? thanks!

I am worried about Jane and everyone in Puerto Rico as well.

Hey all! I still talk to Jane regularly and got a brief email from her earlier today. She lives on the northern side of the island which wasn't hit as hard by the winds and rain. She said the winds weren't as bad as Maria (the hurricane that devastated the island five years ago) but they got much more rain this time. There's widespread flooding, mostly on the southern side of the island but nothing around her. Unfortunately, their power grid, which isn't great even under good conditions has given out. The entire island is without power or water. She's close to San Juan, so hopefully she'll get her power back soon. Until that happens, I won't likely hear from her, since she said her phone battery was running out of power. When I do hear from her again, I'll let you all know! Until then, I'm sure she'll appreciate your thoughts and prayers if you're so inclined!

Thanks for the update. I was thinking about her yesterday as well, but got out of work very late and did not have time to post.
Llyan thanks for the update. Tell her we are thinking about her.
And getting out of work really late, and Monday Night Football means I have not seen the season premiere - so I am off the boards until I watch....

I know some of you are living on the east coast, so I’m keeping good thoughts for you as Hurricane Fiona heads northward towards the Atlantic…
stay safe and keep in touch!

Small update from Jane:
She's still ok, but now the storm is over and the rain has stopped, so it's HOT. Friends of hers have invited her over for dinner the last two nights (they have a generator and apparently a master chef on the grill). She does have water back and some areas around her have power, but not her just yet. She was able to charge up her phone and battery banks at her friends, but is still keeping her phone off to conserve power.

Final update. Jane's power returned yesterday but unfortunately not in enough time to save the contents of her fridge. We should be chatting at some point this weekend and I'll be sure to pass along all your thoughts and well-wishes!

thanks, llyan…
too bad her food spoiled… 😕
please tell Jane that “dinaslo”* thinks of her often, and I send her much 💕!
* Jane gave me that nickname over 10 years ago when we were still posting on the old IMDb board - and I still use it to this day… 😊
