Comments: STORM UPDATE:
Sister Islands (Cayman Brac, Little Cayman) getting really hit at the moment with lots of down trees and no power.
Island Energy have kept power on to both Cayman Brac and Little Cayman for as long as we can, and the recent infrastructure improvements have enabled us to keep lines energised for much longer than previously.
Unfortunately the wind speed is causing too much damage to the infrastructure for the power to be safely kept on. As soon as it’s safe to do, crews will deploy to fix the transmission infrastructure and restore power. Social media link:
