Its been seven days since Puerto Rico suffered a direct hit from Hurricane Maria , the strongest storm its seen in nearly 90 years.

The rest of the world is only beginning to grasp the enormity of the devastation on the island, where it could take months, if not years , to recover.

The devastation in Puerto Rico has set us back nearly 20 to 30 years , Puerto Rico Resident Commissioner Jenniffer Gonzlez told The Associated Press on Sunday. I cant deny that the Puerto Rico of now is different from that of a week ago. The destruction of properties, of flattened structures, of families without homes, of debris everywhere. The islands greenery is gone.
