hurricane maria
the storm was named the "san calixto" hurricane in puerto rico because the eye of the cyclone made landfall there on october 14, the christian feast day of pope callixtus i, venerated by the roman catholic church as saint callixtus ("san calixto" in spanish). since european arrival in the americas in 1492, all storms and hurricanes were named after the name of the saint of the day the storm hit puerto rico; for example, the 1867 san narciso hurricane, the 1899 san ciriaco hurricane, the 1928 san felipe hurricane, and the 1932 san ciprian hurricane were also named after the feast day on which they occurred.

three hurricanes hit the u.s. in august and september 2017: category 4 hurricane harvey in southeastern texas, category 5 hurricane irma in the florida gulf coast, and category 4 hurricane maria in puerto rico. trump signed into law $15 billion for hurricanes harvey and irma relief, and later us$18.67 billion in relief for all three hurricanes. the administration came under criticism for its delayed response to the humanitarian crisis on puerto rico. politicians of both parties had called for immediate aid for puerto rico, and criticized trump for focusing on a feud with the nfl instead. trump did not comment on puerto rico for several days while the crisis was unfolding. according to "the washington post", the white house did not feel a sense of urgency until "images of the utter destruction and desperation — and criticism of the administration's response — began to appear on television". trump dismissed the criticism, saying distribution of necessary supplies was "doing well". "the washington post" noted, "on the ground in puerto rico, nothing could be further from the truth." trump also criticized puerto rico officials. a "bmj" analysis found the federal government responded much more quickly and on a larger scale to the hurricane in texas and florida than in puerto rico, despite the fact that the hurricane in puerto rico was more severe.
