"The large eye of Hurricane Maria lumbered toward the popular vacation islands of Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas on Thursday, leaving Puerto Rico and its Caribbean neighbors battered, drenched and largely without power. "The core of Maria, a major hurricane, is forecast to pass just east of the Turks and Caicos and southeastern Bahamas early Friday. "The Category 3 storm has sustained winds of 125 mph, the US National Hurricane Center said. "In just 24 hours, Maria dumped almost 40 inches of rain on parts of Puerto Rico, where millions of residents won't have power for months. Most of the island saw more than a foot of precipitation as Maria turned streets into raging rivers." CNN (9/22)/ Holly Yan, Euan McKirdy, & Jaide Timm-Garcia ..."273 people have died in the 7.1 magnitude earthquake, which struck Mexico on Tuesday (9/19).

Kevin O'Kendley is the owner of Carbuncle Moon, and the author of all original material -- cartoons, blogs, shorts, essays, articles -- on the website (there has been a very limited editorial input in some of my work). All quoted sources are noted. I am responsible for all posts. The only blogs not time-dated are those advertising nonprofits. All nonprofits are vetted, investigated, though after the summer of 2018 my vetting has lapsed: (6/1/21).
