So, power just went down here on the west end. Looks like it is more than just my feed since houses above me on the hill are out too. Didn't hear a transformer blow, or a car hit a pole... not a breath of air to speak of tonight, so not the wind. No sirens. Anyone have a clue? :S

I call WAPA every time there is an outage as sometimes it affects a only small area and they are not aware.

Thanks for the update... I went off to read and forgot to care. lol
That is only the feeder for the airport, rum factories, all of Frederiksted. lol Come to think of it, have not heard any planes come in all night. Usually quite a few on a Saturday night. Maybe the airports generator did not kick in.
