Officials in the U.S. Virgin Islands say there has been a power blackout in the entire three-island territory.
Government spokesman Jean Greaux Jr. says a heavy surge caused power generating units to go offline. He said crews are inspecting the Estate Richmond Power Plant in St. Croix.
The outage occurred before dawn on Saturday.
