Thank you for the pointers regarding RTH and loss of connectivity. As far as the turbulence, that's weird because it was a beautiful and calm morning, no wind at all. As a matter of fact, I had been shooting in the morning and this was my last flight before going home. Some of other videos I took that morning (raw):
As far as the recovery from Maria, I have to say the island is doing well, although there are still signs of the hurricane, such as 90% of the roads are dark at night, frequent power losses, etc. In all fairness, recovery efforts in PR are much more complicated than FL, or TX for example. As our President stated, “This is an island surrounded by water, big water, ocean water,” and that does complicate logistics. Add to that that most of the power is generated in the south of the island and most people live in the north, and transmission lines have to go up and down the central mountain range that runs across the island. Many of the transmission line towers had to be taken to placed via helicopter because of lack of accessibility through the forest.

Glad to hear things are going better. Maybe the power grid will be repaired with equipment more resistant to damage.
You have some nice raw footage of Isla de Cabra José. As with all Breeze Pilots we really need to reposition more often, take lots of footage, then do lots of post editing with clips of 5 to 10 seconds to make better videos.
The turbulence experienced at the baseball field was odd. It actually acted like a magnetic interference or impact with a small bird or large insect. The odd part was there were no errors for magnetic interference and impact scenario would not occur both on the way up and down like the telemetry showed. Hope you are able to return to flying soon and see more of your footage.
