Looks like the US is stepping up big to help the Puerto Ricans across the board; nice to see a good family story from my alma mater!

UGA tennis coach Manny Diaz rescues parents, seeks help for homeland of Puerto Rico

Diaz, the longtime and national championship-winning head coach of the UGA men’s tennis team, watched in horror. He frantically texted and called family members, especially his parents: Manuel Diaz Sr., 91, and Avelina, 86.


The family got lucky: Diaz purchased a plane ticket online the night the hurricane hit, and didn’t even ask his parents, he just bought them. They landed in Atlanta on Monday afternoon, much to the relief of Diaz – who had been there since before dawn.
