Total blackout strikes St. Thomas and St. John in the US Virgin Islands twice this weekend
A total blackout struck St. Thomas and St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands twice this weekend due to a power plant failure. Over 46,000 residents were affected, with outages linked to aging infrastructure, equipment shortages, and damage from past hurricanes. Governor Albert Bryan Jr. has invested $100 million in the struggling utility, but the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority continues to face challenges.
