We conducted two focus groups and four individual interviews to examine the experiences of Florida Puerto Rican adults (N = 26) with secondary exposure to the devastation caused by Hurricane María. Results from our thematic analysis yielded four major themes and eight subthemes depicting responses to Hurricane María. Four major themes emerged across participant responses: 1) Participants’ Experience with Hurricane María, 2) Participants’ Negative Reactions to Hurricane María, 3) Participants Providing Support, and 4) Resilience and Growth. We also found that Florida Puerto Ricans’ secondary stress reactions were influenced by Puerto Rico’s political status and economic crisis. Results also indicated that participants experienced vicarious posttraumatic growth not only at the individual but also at the community level.

“那天没有人说话”：佛罗里达州波多黎各人对飓风玛丽亚的反应

我们进行了两个焦点小组和四次个人访谈，以检查佛罗里达州波多黎各成年人（N = 26）二次暴露于飓风玛丽亚造成的破坏的经历。我们的专题分析结果产生了四个主要主题和八个分主题，描述了对飓风玛丽亚的反应。参与者的回答中出现了四个主要主题：1) 参与者对飓风玛丽亚的经历，2) 参与者对飓风玛丽亚的负面反应，3) 参与者提供支持，以及 4) 复原力和成长。我们还发现佛罗里达波多黎各人的次要压力反应受到波多黎各政治地位和经济危机的影响。结果还表明，参与者不仅在个人层面而且在社区层面都经历了替代性的创伤后成长。
