Hillary’s America.
Wait ‘til it’s a quarter of the USA and the ‘rats blame whitey...
OHMERGAWD!!
No power, oh heavens!!
No coffee, oh darn!
No pressed Cuban sandwiches, oh no!
NO INTERNET!!!
ARGH!!!!!!!
They’ll be demanding that the rest of the United States pay for it.
I was in San Juan a couple of months ago when the same thing happened. All services came to a halt immediately. After a day or two, the place really stunk as garbage piled up.

Arcing at major power switches is really nasty.
I got stuck at a substation where a switch failed and began to arc. It got intensely hot very quickly, and burned the paint off of trucks that were parked near by.
The bad switch happened to be right next to the only gate!

Knowing Puerto Rico, they probably got their power cut off for non-payment of bills.
Don’t worry, the US taxpayers will bail out the non-taxpayers. Again.
Sounds like a general call for looting, too. I wonder how long it will be before there is widespread trouble.
Good idea of what urban centers will face when the power goes.
Watch, learn and remember.

Puerto Rico Blackout Enters Second Day - Entire Island Of 3.5 Million People Without Power

The 3.5 million people of Puerto Rico are entering their second day with no power after a substation fire knocked out service to the entire island. The power outage has left schools scrambling to cancel classes and public hospitals forced to cancel surgeries.
Perhaps even worse, the outage caused numerous fires across the island as a result of malfunctioning generators, including at the upscale Vanderbilt hotel in the popular tourist area of Condado and at the mayor’s office in the northern coastal town of Catano.
While Puerto Rico’s Governor Padilla and the utility’s CEO, Javier Quintana, have said they expect service to be restored by this morning, many Puerto Ricans are dubious saying that the economic slump has affected the government’s ability to maintain basic infrastructure. According to the Wall Street Journal, hundreds of people took to social media to criticize the Electric Power Authority, noting they already pay bills on average twice that of the U.S. mainland.
The fire apparently started at this sub-station in Central Aguirre, Puerto Rico.
Chico, don’t get discouraged.
I know things will be better for Chico and The Man.
