"Puerto Ricans hunt for precious Wi-Fi and cell signals," by AP's Danica Coto in San Juan: "The low murmur at one of two free Wi-Fi hotspots is occasionally interrupted by the cheering of someone getting through the largely jammed network. Most spend hours frowning at their phones, unable to connect."
- Many "opted to pull over to the side of the road along various highways where cellphone signals were strongest."
- Some "in Puerto Rico and abroad called a local radio station to provide names, numbers, exact addresses and pictures of their loved ones in hopes of reconnecting."
- "But for hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans living on the U.S. mainland, there has been only silence from the island."
