“Welcome to Puerto Rico, this is what we know as ‘life,’” Eduardo Perez, a former Major League baseball player and ESPN commentator who was hosting the news conference, told those gathered.

The blackout once again highlighted the fragile nature of Puerto Rico’s power grid, which even after more than $2 billion in repairs managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has not been steady.

Power has gone out in the San Juan metropolitan area at least four times since the storm, forcing Puerto Ricans to spend thousands of dollars to fuel generators. Many residents have left all together: nearly 300 schools are expected to close because of a sharp drop in enrollment.
"Bienvenido a Puerto Rico, esto es lo que conocemos como 'vida'", dijo a los reunidos Eduardo Pérez, un ex jugador de béisbol de las Grandes Ligas y comentarista de ESPN que ofrecía la conferencia de prensa.
