Guajataca Dam Aerial

The Guajataca dam in northern Puerto Rico was severely damaged by the 2017 hurricanes. By all accounts it was very close to collapsing completely which would have flooded some 70,000 people. At the time, all 70,000 were advised to evacuate. Emergency repairs kept the worst from happening, but 10,000 residents and farmers have since struggled with water management.
