Number of FEMA/federal personnel sent to Puerto Rico for María: 10,000. Number sent to Texas for Harvey: 31,000. Number to Florida for Irma: 40,000

That's the limit set on commercial flights to allow for aircraft carrying aid to make their way to the island. The fact that that limit is there is a good sign of help being on the way, so it's more of a logistical problem once they're here really.

Do you even know how hurricanes work, 'Reagan2017'? How are the populations of and swaths of land masses of whole states relevant? The hurricane didn't destroy the whole states of Texas or Florida. Hurricane damage is localized to where the eye carves out its path, and the surrounding area where the rain is dumped, and on the coasts where the storm surge hits. The actual affected square miles to population density ratio is actually tilted towards Puerto Rico because it's such a compact island.

I have family in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico. The eye carved through 80% of Puerto Rico at Cat 3 & 4 power. Not so for Texas or Florida. Harvey blasted the coast then almost immediately ran out of steam before affecting inland Texas. Puerto Rico got 36" of rain in one day. Houston got 32" of rain over three days. My fam in Austin, only a couple hours' drive from Houston, are pretty much unaffected and are totally fine. My fam in Florida, who has homes in BOTH the Gulf coast and Palm Beach County, are fine. A tree fell in one yard and a mailbox got blown over. My fam in Puerto Rico, on the other hand, are in San Juan and Ponce and have no power, no running water, and it's 85-90° outside. They have their own supplies (a month's worth) but their neighborhoods aren't doing so well. Their cities are essentially shut down and a warzone. They have no option to drive a couple hours to safety, like Houstonians could do for Austin. They can't even fly out to be with fam here in the states. There's a HUGE difference in the range of destruction.
