Hurricane Maria goes down on Puerto Rico with a full frontal assault and body blow. The U.S. territory of  3.5 million residents is experiencing one of the most devastating human-made disasters to hit their rhythmic Island since the hurricane of 1899 which killed nearly 3000 people.

Not So Silent River Runs Deep Down Streets

Early Wednesday morning Hurricane Maria made landfall on Puerto Rico with sustained wind speeds of up to 155 MPH — a high category four storms.

It was just over a week ago that Hurricane Irma skirted the eastern portion of the island and left one million without power.

Authorities are reporting Maria’s vicious blow has left 100 percent of the nation without power, and they worry that with nightfall desperados could begin looting.

Before Maria pumped her brakes and became a Cat 4, she was a category five storm, which is the strongest to point used as a measurement.

To date, there’s been only one other category five cyclone to visit the hurricane bullseye’s nation of Puerto Rico, and that was the San Felipe Segunda hurricane of 1928.

Before Maria touched down the Governor of Puerto Rico, Ricardo Rosselló advised residents to evacuate or die.

Man-Made Devastation Runs Afoul

More than 10,000 have sought shelter in temporary safety zones established by officials.

Carmen Yulín Cruz mayor of San JuanPuerto Rico is predicting that it will take 4 to 6 months to restore power to the people.

Rivers have overrun their banks and carved new channels through residential areas.

Maria should clear Puerto Rico by early Thursday morning as she continues on her northeastern treck.
