Much of Northern Puerto Rico has suffered another blackout, including the capital city.
The island’s Electric Power Authority said several municipalities were without power, including parts of the capital, San Juan, but they were optimistic it could be restored within a day as they worked to repair a substation that controls voltage…
…It was not immediately known what caused Sunday’s fire, which was quickly extinguished. Officials said the explosion knocked two other substations offline and caused a total loss of 400 megawatts worth of generation.

Before this explosion, more than a million people were still without power from the Category 4 hurricane that struck the island on Sept. 20, 2017 (https://www.theorganicprepper.com/shtf-puerto-rico-last-night/). They’ve been thrown back in time by a hundred years, with no power, no running water, and damaged homes.
