Around the World:
Dangerous Leaders
PART IV
Pointing out global dangers
BLOG SESSION
September 27th, 2016
Good Morning Blog Readers, Followers & Visitors ~
We are going to talk about what's going on around the world at this time, and we'll be pointing out what could possibly be global dangers as our Blog Session for today progresses.
Please grab your Journal so that you may take notes. Your notes will also come in handy for your daily diary entries, which we had been discussing in prior Blog Sessions. Just to point out to everyone ~ it is beneficial to keep a daily diary to gain a clearer understanding of yourself, and the world around you. This is a time in history that is worthy of your input, your recording in your Journal and/or Diary, and talking about with others. The issues that concern you are just as important to others, and in many cases people may be unaware of certain events that are happening if they shy away from the Media, News Reports, Radio Reports, and do not engage in vital communication sessions with other individuals about what is going on in the world around them.

Thinking Prayerfully
Our main purpose here today on the Blog is to point out what is happening around the world, and what we feel may possibly be global dangers. We also are going to be discussing how our world leaders are stacking up in terms of handling the situations and crisises going on.
Let's start off with what is going on in Puerto Rico. It has been over a week since Hurricane Maria hit the Island of Puerto. Do you think that the devastating situation going on in Puerto Rico is being handled efficiently and in a timely manner by government officials?
Hurricane Maria has devastated Puerto Rico and upended the lives of millions of Americans. The Hurricane has also left billions of dollars in damage that will wreak havoc on the island's economy, according to initial estimates.
AIR Worldwide calculates the financial toll of natural disasters, and predicts the losses in the Caribbean covered by insurance will be between $40 billion and $85 billion. More than 85% of those losses are in Puerto Rico, the firm stated. It should be noted that that number does not include damage to property that is not insured, and excludes flood damage covered by the National Flood Insurance Program.
Puerto Rico ~ September 28th, 2017
(Overview of Damage from Hurricane Maria)
In case you did not know, Puerto Rico was in an economic crisis before it was slammed by Hurricane Maria as a Category 4 Storm. The island remains almost entirely without electricity, and is already in the midst of an 11-year recession. Puerto Rico filed for the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history back in May 2017.
Is there any Hurricane Relief in sight for Puerto Rico? What do you say?
Retired Lt. General Honore had much to say about the disaster in Puerto Rico and the response on CNN: VIEW VIDEO HERE.
In your opinion, is the United States Administration handling the Puerto Rico disaster appropriately?
