Episode 35: Analyzing Irma and the Politics in Puerto Rico

October 10, 2017

We are back after a month of travel to discuss our active hurricane season in the Atlantic, and specifically to break down Hurricanes Irma and Maria. On this episode, we provide our personal perspectives of experiencing Hurricane Irma and talk about guilt/shame messaging that was evident from social media posts. We then shift the focus to discuss the aftermath of Puerto Rico from Hurricane Maria, and all of the political mumble jumbo that is attached to this disaster. We finish up with life updates, and our songs of the week! Stay tuned, because WeatherHype is coming up next!
