So, what’s happened since Mr Anderson's prophetic promise to the people of Puerto Rico...
A November 28, 2017 report by the Sierra Club included this comment: "It will take years to rebuild Puerto Rico, not just from the worst hurricane to make landfall since 1932, but to sustainably overcome environmental injustices which made Maria's devastation even more catastrophic".[156]
In May 2017, the Natural Resources Defense Council reported that Puerto Rico's water system was the worst as measured by the Clean Water Act. 70% of the population drank water that violated U.S. law.

In addition, Dorian surpassed Hurricane Irma in 2017 to become the most powerful hurricane on record in the open Atlantic region, outside of the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. It was the fourth named storm, second hurricane, and the first major hurricane of the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season. Dorian struck the Abaco Islands on September 1 with maximum sustained winds of 185 mph (295 km/h), tying with the 1935 Labor Day hurricane for the highest wind speeds of an Atlantic hurricane ever recorded at landfall. Dorian went on to strike Grand Bahama at similar intensity, stalling just north of the territory with unrelenting winds for at least 24 hours. The resultant damage to these islands was catastrophic; most structures were flattened or swept to sea, and at least 70,000 people were left homeless. After its ravages through the Bahamas, Dorian proceeded along the coasts of the Southeastern United States and Atlantic Canada, leaving behind considerable damage and economic losses in those regions.

But look a bit closer.
Because of relentless seismic activity over the past several days, people living on the south end of the island remain frightened and exhausted.
Many are simply praying for the shaking to stop.

Since Dec. 28, 2019, more than 500 earthquakes have rattled the Caribbean island — with the largest striking early on Jan. 7 near the southwest coast. Thousands have been displaced, hundreds of thousands are without reliable power and, in southern communities, parks, fields and baseball diamonds are doubling as campsites for people too afraid to sleep under their own roofs.
“The situation is desperate, in some ways, because people cannot return to their homes,” said Ponce native Elder Jorge M. Alvarado, a General Authority Seventy and a counselor in the Caribbean Area Presidency.
One person lost his life in the quakes, and nine others have been injured.
No Latter-day Saint missionaries and members in Puerto Rico were harmed — but many are emotionally bruised by yet another series of natural disasters on a United States territory still emerging from 2017’s Hurricane Maria.
