Power outage hits nearly all of Puerto Rico on New Year's Eve
Briefly

"It had to be on the 31st of December!" exclaimed one man, who only gave his name as Manuel, as he stood outside a grocery store in the capital of San Juan..."
Luma said in a statement that it appears the outage was caused by a failure of an underground power line, saying it is restoring power "in the quickest and safest way possible."
Governor-elect Jenniffer Gonzalez Colon... has called for the creation of an "energy czar" to review potential Luma contractual breaches while another operator is found.
Puerto Ricans began to plan ahead. "I'll go to my balcony. That's where I'll sleep," Raul Pacheco said with a shrug, as the 63-year-old diabetic sat on a walker nursing an injured foot.
