There is truly nothing comparable to this storm in Puerto Rico's history.
San Felipe II (AKA Lk Okeechobee 1928) is comparable in track and power, but PR was totally different RE: infrastructure and pop density
Most of PR lives along the north coast- which will be impacted by NE quadrant of eyewall.
The eye itself is projected to slice among the interior mountains- where there is much poverty
Barring a sudden change of track, #HurricaneMaria will have long-lasting implications in PR, USVI, and stateside.
Imagine devastation of a Cat 5 storm replicating Lk Okechobee path today- that is what PR and USVI face with #HurricaineMaria.
