I guess that Joe didn't have them on the list of 16.

Probably a Kaiju or something of that nature.

Standard city black out graphic, I suppose. Not too many sky scrapers on those islands though.

Have vacationed there many times. It is an everyday thing. This is not news, nor out of the ordinary. By the way, one of the most beautiful places to visit in our country. The beaches are the best.

Apparently it is news when power to two islands goes out and they don’t know why. No storm, No hurricanes, just the power plant stopped working.

Gee maybe if somebody wanted to mess with our power grid on a big upcoming Fourth of July weekend… A practice run might be something they would try?

All good on St. Croix as of 0753.

The power down here goes out with great frequency.

WAPA is a standing joke that charges 10x the rate on the mainland with abysmal service.

PS: St John gets their power from St Thomas. I used to live where the cable crosses Pillsbury Sound. It is just to the right of the photo below.

I would love it, and love the ability to see complete constellations like Ursa Minor which have been rendered invisible by light pollution, even in the exurbs

Did you ever meet the Doughboy and push his stomach in?

I witnessed the tragedy when he tried diving for lobsters. Buoyancy was a problem. Then he attracted some reef sharks. It was savage but mesmerizing.

Does AOC have any relatives there? If so, then this is very obviously Trump's fault.

Still can't find anything regarding updates on Twitter or on the web.

Weird.
