The scale of Maria’s destruction has been devastating, causing as much as $94 billion in damage — a crippling toll for an island that was already billions of dollars in debt.


But the effects of the storm will undoubtedly be felt most by the people themselves. While the official death toll is 64 people, recent analysis suggests the storm might have resulted in more than 1,000 fatalities. The storm left thousands of families without homes and destroyed some communities entirely.

Answer:

ok

Step-by-step explanation:

It was category 4, it got close to the picks with intensity.

The island received about 30 billion for the reconstruction and gradually rebuild.

Hurricane Maria destroyed many things:

1- There was no electricity

2- There was no water

3- There were no vital medical equipment like dialysis machines

4- There were a few streets good for driving and no food available
