    Anyone know how widespread the current power outage is? Mine got knocked out I guess around midnight, after the storm went through by the sound of it. Any updates on repairs? I looked online but couldn't find any information, shocking haha.

    I think it probably has to do with trees being too close to the line then a bit of wind and rain knocks down a coconut. Coconut falls and smashes through the rotten poles or rips down the line. Considering how much paperwork it takes to cut one of those trees down it's amazing it doesn't happen more often.
