UPDATE: Sept. 21,Watch The End of the Fucking World 2017, 4:10 p.m. EDT Updated with FCC report.
The mobile phone network in Puerto Rico is either mostly unavailable or has entirely failed, according to numerous reports from people trying to get in touch with relatives and loved ones.
Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico on Wednesday as a Category 4 storm, the most intense in nearly a century. Power is out on the entire island, and cellphone towers were reportedly knocked over—leaving the prospect that communication on the island could be a continuing problem.
A T-Mobile spokesperson confirmed outages on Puerto Rico.
"Puerto Rico has experienced widespread devastation from Hurricane Maria that knocked out power and services across the board. We’re working as fast as we can to get customers back online," the spokesperson said in an email.
An AT&T spokesperson also confirmed that its network had been damaged.
“We are closely monitoring our network in Puerto Rico and assessing the full effects of Hurricane Maria. Storm damage is significant across the region and commercial power is unavailable, both of which can affect our ability to provide service. We are coordinating with local authorities and deploying resources as rapidly as possible to assist in restoration and recovery efforts as quickly as conditions allow," the spokesperson said in an email.
The Federal Communications Commission reported on Thursday afternoon that almost all of the cell sites on Puerto Rico were out of service.
