Guest:  Ada MonzónIntroduction:The 2017 Hurricane Season was a memorable one for many in the Atlantic basin with 17 named storms, 10 hurricanes, and 6 major hurricanes. But, for Puerto Rico, it was especially memorable because of Hurricane Maria.

Chief Meteorologist Ada Monzon covered the storm’s progression, landfall, and the lasting aftermath. Today we’ll explore the communication challenges she and others faced during and after the storm.
