So we had a massive islandwide powercut from about

9.00pm last night until a few minutes ago here in Jamaica.
This is highly unusual.

You cannot imagine the rumors but the big one was whether the global bully invaded Cuba.

Has folks calling from all over the island letting us know if their power is back.

Sadly, power outages here are the norm, although not usually for more than a few hrs.
