Thanks! Power was restored in the middle of the night, last night, after four days in the dark. A few parts of the island are still waiting. The whole grid is a mess — outdated, damaged from hurricanes and earthquakes, never well rebuilt or maintained. In the states, power can be supplied by other grids in an emergency. We have no other grids — this is just an island surrounded by lots and lots of water, as that Trump guy once said. We manage — we have a generator that keeps our freezer full of food operating — our most important concern. We also have bottld gas grills and stoves on our terrace, so we cook there. We have a stainless steel cistern full of water and a solar hot water heater for showers. After Hurricane Maria we were 7 months without power so we learned to manage. It is hugely inconvenient (I have to manually shut down and start up the system every two hours to conserve gasoline. It tends to get scarce if the outages lasts more than a few days and I hate to leave the property!) I feel for the people on the island who have no space for or can’t afford a gas generator or these days, the gasoline! This is one of the prices to pay to live in paradise!
