Mayor of San Juan live on Rachel. She is extraordinary. PLeading for the world to help save

them from dying. They just played the earlier recording that many of us have seen but she is live now. She sounds really hoarse, like she is sick or has just been using her voice so much that she is hoarse. This is heart wrenching.

They are being asked to register on the internet for help and they have no internet!

She is passionate and eloquent, speaking up for her people. Not only for San Juan but for the entire island. I don't think we've heard the last of her; I hope not.

"There was better response under Obama."

She was hinting at it when she mentioned the response to the earthquake in Haiti.
