24. PR and USVI have big reason to worry about a repeat of New Orleans, but far worse.

In addition to the way out in the ocean stuff, The Donald did some belated twittering, pointing out that PR was already broken, badly in debt to Wall Street and "the banks," old grid already in terrible shape. USVI apparently don't exist even as bad real estate investments in his mind.

Texas & Florida are doing great but Puerto Rico, which was already suffering from broken infrastructure & massive debt, is in deep trouble..

...It's old electrical grid, which was in terrible shape, was devastated. Much of the Island was destroyed, with billions of dollars..

...owed to Wall Street and the banks which, sadly, must be dealt with. Food, water and medical are top priorities - and doing well.
