I'm in st Thomas and have been here a week helping a WISP and general
cleanup like orphanages The power is the major issue. All poles and
utilities are offline outside of the major port area that has buried
utilities. Generators are being flown in every day word here is 6-9
months for power to be restored. Fiber phone and cable providers are
crippled and many of the towers here have most of the equipment not
just damaged but totally missing. What is there still is water
damaged or has fried Ethernet from water infiltration
But power is the major issue in the USVI also

I always wondered why the Caribbean islands did not use more

From what I'm hearing, the major issue is power, or the
lack thereof. Existing supplies of fuel for generators,
etc. are in extremely short supply. I've been hearing
estimates of 6+ months to restore power, and that may be
optimistic.

Keep hearing of the lack of communication capability

Actually most of Utah does as well as many groups of LDS
