When Vasti Rosado was reunited with her grandmother after days of radio silence following Hurricane Maria bearing down on the island, she heard firsthand about the destruction on the island and the morgues filling up with bodies. Rosado's cousin, who volunteered at a hospital, sent her text after text about how so many more people were dying than reported.
When Harvard released a study last month reporting that thousands more people died than the official toll of 64, it only confirmed what Rosado knew. Now, nine months after Maria hit, she's heading back to Puerto Rico permanently. Rosado spoke to Colorado Matters about what's she seen on the island her first week back.
