A man dives into the Espiritu Santo river from a rope swing before heavy afternoon rains more than two weeks after Hurricane Maria hit the island, on October 8, 2017 in Palmer, Puerto Rico. Only 11.7 percent of Puerto Rico's electricity has been restored and some residents are going to the river to cool off and relax while others go to bathe, wash clothes, or gather water. The area borders the El Yunque National Forest, the United States' only tropical rainforest, which was heavily damaged by the hurricane. Puerto Rico experienced widespread damage including most of the electrical, gas and water grid as well as agriculture after Hurricane Maria, a category 4 hurricane, swept through.
