Unknown Story
Testo Storyboard
- Salinas, PR
- My husband and I knew to gather our belongings and leave our home. It wouldn't be safe for us to stay. We stayed in this boat until the storm cleared, just us two.
- We heard other motors like boats or jet skis maybe looking for anyone or anything in need of help. We could all use it.
- Hi, Mrs . Rivera, what were you going through the hurricane?
- Loiza, PR
- Hello Jorge, what have you done since the storm?
- Wow, I bet they appreciated that.
- Well I came down to the shore a few days after and caught some fish, shrimp, and crabs. I've given bags of them to folks to help out.
- Yeah, some paid me back in food for breakfast or lunch.
- I evacuated to my mothers home but I don't know what I would've done differently if stayed, seeing my home destroyed. Coming back, I'm glad I can offer support. I have washing machine valves I'm letting my neighbors use to collect water.
- Edge of the Guamaní River
- Hi, Ms . Baez, what were you going through the hurricane?
- While I went around town asking folks about their experiences during the hurricane, I first spoke to Jacqueline Rivera, who shared about her hiding. Infrastructure of houses has fallen so staying in boat would be more flexible. Flood waters surrounded the homes and other boats and jet skis were heard to be going on around.
- Maria, I notice the action you're taking in part of recovering since the storm, anything you'd like to say on the matter?
- Well it hasn't been just me, I've worked alongside amazing women including Tatiana Pacheco and Modesta Irizarry.
- This country is my home and I want to help the people of my community, putting together donations and delivering them is the least I could do.
- I heard of a local fisherman, Jorge Calderon, doing his part to help residents of the community and making due with the resources available to them. In times of distress it can be easy to forget about food, but Calderon made sure to take care of that.
- I'll tell you I stayed with my father. He's 80 years old so different emotions and thoughts came over me taking care of him alongside feeling PTSD from Hurricane Maria.
- Hi, Carlos, could you share you experiences through the hurricane?
- I reached out to Carmen Baez, a local resident who recently lived in Conneticut and New York. PR became her home and going through such an event was hard for her to make decisions. Though, she is grateful to be a leader in her community to give her neighbors access to resources.
- Where do you think you'll go from here?
- I don't know. My life has been built here and I think I lost more than I could handle, including 2 cats. In addition to losing our home, I have no choice but to start over.
- Maria Pacheco, drove her sister Tatiana and local activist Modesta through town to deliver donations and food that they raised money for. The three hope to move forward in their community and motivate change politically even if they can't geographically.
- Northern coastal town of Loiza
- Local resident Carlos Correa rode out the hurricane with his father just as they did during Hurricane Maria in their home. Tensions are high but they are trying their best to keep up with the news and stay safe.
- Central PR
- While speaking with Baez and looking at the different impacts Fiona has left on the people of Puerto Rico, its clear to have an equal tragedy level to Maria if not close enough. Follks are losing their resources, homes, pets, and more. It becomes harder to recover since they never fully recovered from Hurricane Maria.
