More than 40 days and two Category 5 hurricanes later, St. John in the US Virgin Islands is still in complete darkness.
While much of the national attention has focused on 81% of Puerto Rico not having power, US citizens on St. John are also waiting on the return of electricity, and with it, a sense of normalcy.
On Wednesday, the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority gave a long-awaited update on the island's status. Sections of St. John can expect an "initial wave of service restoration by next week," reads a post on its Facebook page.
