I just read an article in our local paper (The News and Courier, Charleston SC) that one of our local utilities is sending help to STX. Nine line trucks, one service truck, two thirteen-man line crews, and a mechanic to help restore power. The article stated that 83% of the island's residents are without power and have been since September! I was not aware of this dire situation until I read the article as most of what has been reported has been about Puerto Rico and my home away from home, Saint Maarten/ Saint Martin. It sounds like a bad situation on STX at this time.
