Puerto Rico has suffered an island-wide power outage, Puerto Rico’s power authority said Wednesday — nearly seven months after Hurricane Maria destroyed much of the island’s infrastructure and its electrical grid.

The utility said its priority was to restore service to hospitals, San Juan’s airport, water pumping systems and banks. Read more at CNN.
