Power has been restored to all of Puerto Rico for the first time since Hurricane Maria struck nearly 11 months ago, the AP reports. The island’s electric utility announced that crews working in the southern city of Ponce reconnected the last neighborhood that had been offline since the Sept. 20 storm knocked out the U.S. territory’s power grid. Ponce resident Charlie Colon Nazario tells El Nuevo Dia that he was looking forward to no longer having to use a generator to light his house. “No more lamps, no more candles, no more extension cords,” he says.

Tell Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez she can go back to her real homeland now.
It’s tough to make progress in a corruptocracy.
Let’s see, no power = no global warming.
Who is in charge: Corrupt, unaccountable politicians.
Majority = People of Color.
No ICE presence.
How can they blame Trump for this Liberal Utopia?
Good enough for gubmint work.
Just in time for hurricane season.
Can’t have a proper corrupt shithole without lights.
And Ponce is the second largest city on the island. I could understand if some village up in the jungle by El Yunque just got power, but Ponce? I wonder if they voted Red. PR, nothing but a corrupt banana republic feather in our cap.
Probably the first time in history that the grid is functioning as it was designed to.
Your prog politicians working for you. No lights but tons of virtue signaling.
Now the residents can go back to not paying their power bills.
Si se puede !
