A North Texas resident who moved from his homeland of Puerto Rico is worried and expecting family to arrive in the U.S. as Hurricane Fiona devastates the island.
, many North Texans are reminded of what they endured just five years ago, nearly to the date, when Hurricane Maria made landfall on the Island.
Christian Flores Rivera knows what people are faced with in Puerto Rico right now. He said there will be several exhausting days and nights ahead. He was there in 2017 when Hurricane Maria slammed into the island. “I built my life there, and from one moment to another I just lost everything,” he said. “There was no work. There was no home. I lost my home.”
He’s one of the more than 200,000 people who left Puerto Rico after Maria. Rivera has since made Dallas his home- not an easy transition for a man who relocated alone and still feels the pain of loss.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
