Communities from Indian River to Picard-George Town, Long House, Glanvillia, Balvin, American Canadian School of Medicine University, Lizard Trail, Banana Trail, Coconut Beach, Picard, and Ti Bay were also affected.<\/p>\n

The post further stated that a crew from DOMLEC is currently working diligently to resolve and restore power to these areas.<\/p>\n
