mr, thank you so much for all that detail. I've had no doubt that the Trump Administration is working miracles.

People may get tired of me putting my personal experience into so much. Here I go again.

I've never worked a disaster, but I have worked a massive mobilization. In 1995-1996 I worked a ( $2 billion )copper-gold mining program. It was in NW Argentina @ 10.000'. No lives were at stake, but a hell of a lot of money was.

We had thousands of tons of material and equipment to get to the mine site.. It couldn't be landed in Argentina because so many small towns had to be transited.

Virtually everything was landed in Chile's northern most large port of Antofagasta, and hauled over the Andes. The pass was over 13.000' . The high Andes is subject to blizzards the year around. We had snow plows and dozers to pull trucks on station.

We had 3500 construction workers and 1500 mine operators to house. The housing was in prefabricated modules. The mine equipment was enormous and we had 18- 40 Cubic yard ore haul trucks brought up. A large front end loader handles 3 cu yds. All this had to be hauled over The Andes. Then transit 300 miles of dirt road.

Our conditions certainly nothing like what they are facing in
Puerto Rico, but I do have a good appreation of their task.

What they are doing is miraculous!
