St Croix middle island power outage. Got my I phone so I can type this. Went out right before the rain around 7:30

I remember my first power outage on STX. I hadn't got gas coming down from Scenic Rd going to work that day - figured I'd get gas going home from work (east of cstd.). We had a power outage. I couldn't find a gas station with a generator. I barely made it back up top to the house in Vista Concordia. I had to take and siphon gas from the lawn mower to get back to a gas station. Crazy things you don't expect.

Sounds like post-Soviet space, the only place I've ever lived where electricity has an adjective.

Lived west, center and east. Didn't have much of a problem west. When I lived Center (la grande princess area) it went off at least 2 or 3 times a week. Living east it may happen once a month at most and is always back on in a hour (knock on wood).

I will be really happy though when innovative stops playing around with the channels though. Took me all weekend to figure out where they moved CBS...lol

Me too. I kept looking and saw channel 58 but it wasn't up yet when I finally found it.
