Lightning strike cuts power on Little Cayman
(CNS): Cayman Brac Power and Light Company worked Friday morning to restore power for its customers on Little Cayman after a lightning strike cut electricity across the entire island. The Little Cayman Clinic was closed for regular appointments and officials said they were only able to offer emergency medical treatment until power was restored. Jonathan Tibbetts, the general manager at CBPL, which was recently purchased by Dart, said he expected the repair work to be completed early this afternoon.

WE loved Little Cayman and their wonderful people
People on the Sister Islands live differently than us. They can — for the most part — handle anything that comes their way.
I hear tell some people actually grow and can vegetables and make coconut oil and fish in the sea and prepare for a future time of difficulty.
Similar to the way ALL of our Caymanian ancestors lived before British Banker speculation and American capital drifted to our shores, we became spoiled and lazy…..
Ponkin’, Cassava, Breadfruit, Yam, Banana, Callalou, fruits, herbs, fish, whelk, lobster, conch, reptiles; there was a time where our population was perfectly attuned with our resources. Sadly, that time was decades ago.
The world has changed. We are soon to have 8 BILLION people on this planet. The Earth could possibly handle that number if people were equilaterally distributed around the globe.
Most people today are ill-equipped with the knowledge of the ages to survive off the land in a time where power/internet were absent.
