The village of Salinas in Puerto Rico was famous for its beaches and restaurants. It was popular with tourists — until Hurricane Maria left the village devastated. A number of people were killed; 90 percent of the population of Puerto Rico still have no electricity, and about half don't have running water. In Salinas, residents who've lost their homes are being housed in a school. It's not clear how long they'll have to stay there. The local phone network and the infrastructure are heavily damaged, so it's taken aid supplies a long time to reach the area. Reporter Carolina Chimoy traveled to Salinas to meet the mayor and local residents who are trying to rebuild their village.
