Power Outages Plague St. Thomas and St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands
St. Thomas and St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands experienced a complete blackout early Sunday, marking the second outage over the weekend. The Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority attributed the outages to a loss of generation at a power plant. The first blackout occurred late on Saturday, with power being restored overnight, only to be followed by another blackout shortly after. The U.S. territory is grappling with more frequent power outages.
