An island-wide power outage has struck Puerto Rico as the U.S. territory’s electric grid struggles to recover after the devastation from Hurricane Maria last year.
The Associated Press reported on Wednesday that the entire island experienced a blackout.
It’s unclear what led to the outage at this time. A spokesman for Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority told CBS News’s David Begnaud that he also did not know the cause.

I thought they still didn’t have power because Trump or something
Re read my post. All power diverted to Mar A Lago for next weekend. Hey, at least they’ll be making their contribution to erf day if they powers not back on by Saturday. LOL!
You beat me to it- Trump’s fault!
Blackout = bad? That’s racist.
And some people just can’t fathom how they and their cultures become colonized and dominated by others.
Trump did it.
North Korea to Puerto Rico...”Welcome to our world.”
Trump.
Some Puerto Rican guy did it.
Ever been caught in a white-out? They're bad, too!
Puerto Rico sits on a major crossroads of the world.
How can it be so Ef’d up?
It could be another Singapore.
Whitefish contractors were restoring power until Democrats complained and cancelled the contract because of alleged political connections.
Had the work continued, PR would likely have full and stable power by now.
LIBs/Lefties make it so.
The United States needs to fix them up to where they were before the hurricane - or better - then cut them lose. Puerto Rico has more in common with the idiots in Venezuela then they do with us.
The problem is that Puerto Rico is now in a death spiral, with the productive class fleeing for the mainland US. What is going to be left?
This is where Puerto Rico’s Commonwealth Status wound up being a curse.
It will too easy for the productive folks to simply up and leave for the US when things get tough there. If they were an independent country, those people would have stayed.
And for all the Boricuas who come here and whine about the US not doing enough for Puerto Rico, well they were a big cause of their problems by running away in the first place.
Whitefish was in over their heads in PR. A complete contracting disaster.
If we wash our hands of them we won’t have to worry about them coming here and spreading the ‘culture of corruption’... we’ll just declared them ‘illegals’ and send them back.
