I live in Florida. Millions were affected here. However, at no point was the entire state out of power, and even if it had been, we have neighboring states that we can travel to relatively easily. In fact, many of us did that to avoid the storm altogether, and only came back when it was gone. Most of us that stayed weren't out of power for more than a week... In fact, most were only out for a few days.
Most people in Puerto Rico didn't have that option, and they couldn't travel anyone via land to somewhere with power.
In short, Puerto Rico is much, much worse.
