Just read that the entire island of Cuba is without power. Not easy stuff for a country already struggling hard. Puerto Rico is still trying to get back on her feet from those 2 storms in 2017. Been thinking a lot about this stuff lately. North American power grids are pretty stable and generally well-maintained compared to those of most countries. We're pretty fortunate that the resources are there to get things back up. Not an easy job. Usually power guys are pretty good with sharing resources. It's like anything in an emergency...workers from other parts of the NA continent are made available to help out. Be it power outages, forest fires etc. Canadian crews are in Florida right now helping out as well as crews from across the US. People being able to pull together in the face of things like this is a good resource to have. Not all are so fortunate. Hugs to you LL.
