I've been working with an IRS auditor on a case and he's in San Juan Puerto Rico. We're professional adversaries but certainly not enemies. I represent the taxpayer and he represents the government.

When Irma was bearing down on San Juan I emailed to say I wish him and his family well and he emailed back thanking me and said they were closing the federal building for a couple of days. Then last week he said he was back for a half day but things were rough. Now I don't know what to think. San Juan just got slammed so hard it makes Irma look like a summer breeze because Irma wasn't a direct hit like Maria was. The news says power is out for 100% of the island and could be out for months. This is really bad for Puerto Rico. I doubt I'm going to hear from him any time soon and I hope he's ok.

Speaking of science, I saw earlier today that Maria exited the island right on top of Arecibo where the radio telescope is, I'm afraid it just got trashed maybe even ruined beyond repair.
