Power off at least on CABT102 at around 7:20 PM caused by a lightning strike during a very active thunderstorm.

How extensive is the outage on the north coast? Power is back on again for the moment... The storm seems to moving on.

Spoke with a good friend of mine who lives in El Batey about an hour ago.
He said the bars/ clubs were starting to close up early as it appears their batteries
were finally dying. Said his electric went out early this morning and hasn't yet come
back on.
YET ANOTHER REASON....
I live in Santiago.
It came back on at 1am. We were without electricity for 15 hours. They change and transformer and messed up the installation. My inverter got fried the night before in that electrical storm, so I had no power at all. It was a day from hell. Back to Santo Domingo I go where live is normal.

Sosua has been having problems with electricity for several months.
I think it has more to do with all of the development taking place in
and around the area without the proper infrastructure to support it.

Good to hear it finally came back on.
I dealt with those types of outages while living south of Nagua
back in the fall of 2012. Not interested in doing that again.

Power off at 12:03 PM for at least CABT102. Edenorte is aware of and is working on the problem.

Still no power on my part of CABT102. 21 hours without power so far because of some wind and rain, but mostly the incompetence of Edenorte.

You must live in the part of the North Coast with the highest incidence of power outages

Cabarete
Power pole problem on main highway near La Cienaga of Cabarete . And I heard near the Cabarete police station another power cable problem exists.

Careful - I posted this photo of what caused a blackout in Cabarete a few months ago and it was deleted as irrelevant for some reason beyond my understanding.

The main issue we had (and liklely will have again) inside our development was that we have many trees growing into the power lines.
When it rains it would short out the high votage lines and blow the fuses. We finally had to pay Edenorte contractors to come in with a cherry picker and chain saw to cut the trees back. The trees should have been completely removed, since they will grow back again and cause the same issues. The trees should be removed. Edenorte is not interested in doing the work they should do to remove those trees, so we will have to pay for them to be cut back again.

The current issue in Cabarete was rain and wind that caused power poles to fall. Crews are still working on that more than a day after it happened.

I would ask why the wind was able to knock over 2 power poles. Something else I don't understand here.
Because the poles are installed in a hurry and construction work in this country is sloppy. You see many poles leaning within weeks after they're installed because loose dirt settles

Yet another outage allegedly with a power line on the ground which affects CAB102 and probably other circuits on the north coast starting at 5:25 PM with an incidence number of 170090. Not sure where else is affected by this.
