Local Duke Energy workers heading to Puerto Rico for Hurricane Maria assistance
Hundreds of thousands of people in Puerto Rico still don't have power.
Also the governor had to shame Walmart into extending its announced pay raise to its employees in Puerto Rico.
More than 40 percent of Puerto Rico’s power customers remain in the dark, nearly four months after Category 4 Hurricane Maria hit the island.
“The island is completely destroyed. There is no power,” said Armando Ortis, an equipment operator for Duke Energy.
Ortis knows the heartbreak the people of Puerto Rico are going through. His family, including his mother, daughter and grandson live there. While they are OK, Ortis knows many aren’t as lucky.
“They are without power, they are without water. Some people are going without food,” he said.
