We're on feeder 3 and were out for about 2 1/2 hours today. We're out at work all day, so I didn't notice outages during the week. We don't bother calling for area-wide outages, WAPA knows it off and it'll be back when it is.

I thought possibly this 3 hr outage was part of the new plan to conserve?????
My other thought was Hovensa cut WAPA off & the whole island had gone out............. 😮

LOL, reading this board, heard a boom outside and lost power for the second time up on Mt. Welcome just East of C'stead. Don't see no lights down to town either. Thinking I may be without for a while, the outage may have blown a transformer or something in the 'hood.

Lost power this am too at around 10am...gotta go, battery backup is dying 🙂

Power keeps going off and on here in cotton valley. It is getting frustrating.

It has been a comedy of errors here with some injuries. Water and lights out don't mix.

Just because something (WAPA) is expencive, doesn`t mean it`s good.
We pay 3=4X more than most states that NEVER have a blackout.
In my business, I have to be better than the service in the states, cheaper though my expences are MUCH higher!
It sure is hard making a living here!
But, Island living does have it`s positives, besides the obvious, it`s easy dealing with most locals on a professional level.
Don Dam WAPA out again, I can`t belive it!!!
When we run tings & dem don`t run we, this is how it works...

Hey EE!

Perhaps the most popular reference to "wizzle" appears about two-thirds of the way through the chapter found here: http://winnie-the-pooh.ru/stories/english/woozle/

Ah, Pooh! One of my favorites- along with "The Wind in the Willows." Thanks for that citation, dnt. You are way smoother than a wizzle..or a woozle.8-)

Roki: Did you see that two people in PR had to sue to have the November ballot in English as well as Spanish? And the elections chief said it was too late to change it? Wuzzup with that?
