37 dead. I'll concentrate on Puerto Rico because DRA has some customers on that island. I'm not sure of the Internet or telecommunication situation on other islands. Official reports are light to moderate damage. Electrical power has been restored to some parts of Puerto Rico, but 1 million people are still without power. Primary power generation facilities were not damaged, but the transmission network was damaged throughout the island. Telephone service was disrupted in several areas. Mayaguez and other areas are affected. Internet circuits through those central offices have also been affected. The storm track is currently Cuba on Sep 24, and Florida late on Sep 24 or early Sep 25. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation

I have two clients in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. There was quite a lot of damage in the area. Most roads are still closed because of down trees. Electrical power in most of the area is still out and they expect the power to be out for at least 15 more days. The Santo Domingo airport had quite a bit of damaged. Most of the windows blew out and some hardware in the control tower was damaged. Telephone service was disrupted in many areas, but most people in Santo Domingo still have phone services. The two largest internet providers are operational and running on generators. It looks like all capacity into the country is operational.
