El director de seguridad de LUMA Energy, Abner Gómez, aseguró en RADIO ISLA que la restauración del servicio eléctrico en Puerto Rico tomará entre días y semanas tras el paso del huracán Fiona.

Esto, a diferencia del huracán María en el 2017, cuando el mismo tardó meses en recuperarse para varios sectores.  

“Eso va a depender de los daños. Nosotros vamos a comenzar a energizar todo lo que podamos, pero deben haber lugares en Puerto Rico que por la topografía, por el tipo de daños, la secuencia de los daños, va a tomar un poquito más de tiempo. Aquí no va a haber este ‘blackout’ que hubo en María”, expresó Gómez.       

Más temprano hoy, los portavoces del consorcio indicaron que alrededor de 100 mil clientes tienen restablecido el servicio eléctrico.

Fiona nears Dominican Republic after pounding Puerto Rico Loop Barbados

Black Immigrant Daily News

Hurricane Fiona bore down on the Dominican Republic Monday after knocking out the power grid and unleashing floods and landslides in Puerto Rico, where the governor said the damage was “catastrophic.”

No deaths have been reported, but authorities in the US territory said it was too early to estimate the damage from a storm that was still forecast to unleash torrential rain across Puerto Rico on Monday.

Up to 30 inches (76 centimeters) were forecast for Puerto Rico’s southern region.

“It’s important people understand that this is not over,” said Ernesto Morales, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in San Juan.

He said flooding reached “historic levels,” with authorities evacuating or rescuing hundreds of people across the island.

“The damages that we are seeing are catastrophic,” said Governor Pedro Pierluisi.

Before dawn on Monday, authorities in a boat traveled through the flooded streets of the north coastal town of Catano and used a megaphone to alert people that the pumps had collapsed and urged them to evacuate as soon as possible.

Brown water rushed through streets, into homes and even consumed a runway airport in southern Puerto Rico.

Fiona also ripped up asphalt from roads and washed away a bridge in the central mountain town of Utuado that police say was installed by the National Guard after Hurricane Maria hit in 2017 as a Category 4 storm.

The storm also ripped off the roofs of several homes, including that of Nelson Cirino in the northern coastal town of Loiza.

“I was sleeping and saw when the corrugated metal flew off,” he said as he observed how the rain drenched his belongings and the wind whipped his colorful curtains into the air.

Ada Vivian Rom?n, a 21-year-old photography student, said the storm knocked down trees and fences in her hometown of Toa Alta.

“I’m actually very anxious because it’s a really slow-moving hurricane,” she said.

She said she is also worried about whether the public transportation she relies on to get to her job at a public relations agency will be operating by the time she has to go back to the office.

“But I know that I’m privileged compared with other families who are practically losing their homes because they are underwater,” she said.

Fiona was centered 15 miles (25 kilometers) west-southwest of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph (150 kph) on Sunday night, according to the US National Hurricane Center. It was moving to the northwest at eight mph (13 kph).

It hit on the anniversary of Hurricane Hugo, which slammed into the island in 1989 as a Category 3 storm.

As authorities continue to assess the damage from Fiona, many wondered when power would be restored.

“That’s probably the worst damage there is,” said Tom?s Rivera, who co-owns a hotel in the southwest coastal town of El Combate.

On Monday, authorities announced that power had been restored to 100,000 customers on an island of 3.2 million people.

US President Joe Biden declared a state of emergency in the US territory as the eye of the storm approached the island’s southwest corner.

The blackout that Hurricane Maria caused was blamed for the deaths of nearly 3,000 people in the storm’s sweltering aftermath, with power in some neighborhoods not restored until a year later. Maria was a devastating Category 4 storm that struck on September 20, 2017.

Luma, the company that operates power transmission and distribution, said bad weather, including winds of 80 mph, had disrupted transmission lines on Sunday, leading to “a blackout on all the island.”

Health centers were running on generators — and some of those had failed. Health Secretary Carlos Mellado said crews rushed to repair generators at the Comprehensive Cancer Center, where several patients had to be evacuated.

More than 3,000 homes still have only a blue tarp as a roof, and infrastructure remains weak, including the power grid. Outages remain common, and reconstruction started only recently.

“I think all of us Puerto Ricans who lived through Maria have that post-traumatic stress of, ‘What is going to happen, how long is it going to last and what needs might we face?’” said Danny Hern?ndez, who works in the capital of San Juan but planned to weather the storm with his parents and family in the western town of Mayaguez.

The storm pummeled cities and towns along Puerto Rico’s southern coast that have not yet fully recovered from a string of strong earthquakes starting in late 2019.

More than 1,000 people with some 80 pets had sought shelter across the island by Sunday night, the majority of them on the southern coast.

Fiona was forecast to swipe the Dominican Republic early Monday and then northern Haiti and the Turks and Caicos Islands with the threat of heavy rain. It could threaten the far southern end of the Bahamas on Tuesday.

Hurricane warnings were posted for the Dominican Republic’s eastern coast from Cabo Caucedo to Cabo Frances Viejo, and for the Turks and Caicos.

Fiona previously battered the eastern Caribbean, killing one man in the French territory of Guadeloupe when floods washed his home away, officials said.

En grande pompe et dans l’émotion, le monde…

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Guadeloupe FranceAntilles

Réunie dans le deuil derrière le cercueil d’Elizabeth II, la famille royale britannique s’est jointe lundi à des centaines de dignitaires étrangers à l’abbaye de Westminster à Londres pour des adieux en grande pompe à la souveraine, à la hauteur de sa popularité planétaire.

Une page d’Histoire se tourne avec ces funérailles religieuses de la monarque qui a traversé ses 70 ans, sept mois et deux jours de règne avec un constant sens du devoir, sans jamais laisser percer une opinion mais remplissant ses fonctions de cheffe d’Etat avec sérieux, bienveillance pour ses sujets et un humour pince-sans-rire parfois irrésistible.

Dès l’aube, voire plusieurs plusieurs jours à l’avance, les Britanniques se sont massés dans les rues de Londres ou de Windsor, résidence à l’ouest de la capitale où elle sera inhumée dans la soirée, pour participer à cette journée historique, point d’orgue de l’émotion qui a déferlé après son décès le 8 septembre dans son château écossais de Balmoral, à l’âge de 96 ans.

A l’image d’un deuil national réglé au millimètre et marqué par la pompe et la solennité dont la monarchie britannique a le secret, la dépouille a quitté à 09H42 GMT Westminster Hall où des centaines de milliers de Britanniques s’étaient recueillis jour et nuit depuis mercredi, après des heures d’attente.

Au son des cornemuses et roulements de tambour, le cercueil, drapé de l’étendard royal et surmonté de la scintillante couronne impériale, a été accompagné en procession jusqu’à l’abbaye de Westminster tiré sur un affût de canon par des marins de la Royal Navy, formant une armée de képis.

Suivait la famille royale, marchant au pas, le regard figé: Charles III, devenu roi à 73 ans après une vie à attendre, ses frères et soeur Anna, Andrew et Edward, l’héritier du trône Willam, nouveau prince de Galles et le prince Harry, en civil, conséquence de son retrait de la monarchie en 2020.

Dans la nef de l’abbaye, ils ont été rejoints par la reine consort Camilla, les épouses de William, Kate, et d’Harry, Meghan. Les deux aînés de William et Kate, George, 9 ans, Charlotte, 7 ans, ont marché derrière le cercueil de leur arrière-grand-mère à sa arrivée dans l’abbaye.

– “J’étais là!” –

Parmi les 2.000 invités vêtus de noir, le gratin des dirigeants mondiaux s’était déplacé, des président américain Joe Biden et français Emmanuel Macron à l’empereur du Japon Naruhito, pour ces premières funérailles d’Etat depuis celles de Winston Churchill à 1965.

Les têtes couronnées européennes dont le roi Philippe de Belgique, le roi d’Espagne Felipe VI et le prince Albert de Monaco ont aussi pris place sous les arches gothiques de l’abbaye si liée au destin d’Elizabeth II. C’est là qu’encore princesse elle avait épousé à 21 ans en novembre 1947 le fringant Philip Mountbatten, avant d’y être couronnée le 2 juin 1953.

Jamais depuis des années Londres n’avait connu une telle affluence de dignitaires, et la police de la capitale n’a jamais connu un tel défi sécuritaire.

La journée est fériée et ils sont des centaines de milliers à ne pas vouloir perdre une miette de cet événement historique.

Pour des millions de Britanniques, Elizabeth II était la seule, l’unique, ancre rassurante de stabilité dans les convulsions d’un monde qui change.

“Cela fait partie de l’Histoire, jamais dans ma vie il n’y aura une autre reine”, confie à l’AFP Bethany Beardmore, 26 ans, après une nuit sans sommeil.

“Je parlerai de ce moment à mes enfants: Je dirai: j’étais là!”, lance Jack, 14 ans, venu au petit matin avec ses parents à Hyde Park Corner, non loin de Buckingham Palace.

Pour Thay, homme de 59 ans, la reine apportait de la “stabilité” dans une vie “chaotique”. Il espère que Charles fera de même “parce que nous avons besoin de quelque chose à quoi nous accrocher”.

– Procession historique –

Après une heure de cérémonie et deux minutes de silence, la dépouille de la monarque repartira pour un dernier voyage.

Le cercueil sera à nouveau placé sur un affût de canon de la Royal Navy avant une procession historique dans les rues du centre de Londres, jusqu’à l’arc de Wellington, d’où il repartira en corbillard pour le château de Windsor, à 35 kilomètres à l’ouest de la capitale

Plus de 6.000 militaires y participeront.

De plus en plus frêle ces derniers mois, souffrant de problèmes de mobilité, Elizabeth II recevait encore, souriante, deux jours avant son décès, la toute nouvelle Première ministre Liz Truss, sa dernière photo publique. C’était la dirigeante en exercice la plus âgée du monde. Durant sa vie, elle a traversé la Seconde Guerre mondiale, vu la dissolution de l’Empire britannique, l’entrée puis la sortie de l’Union européenne.

Elle était au moment de sa mort, en plus du Royaume-Uni, reine de 14 royaumes, dont l’Australie, le Canada et la Nouvelle Zélande. Certains de ces pays n’ont pas caché leur souhait de voir évoluer leur lien avec la monarchie.

Elle sera inhumée lundi soir dans l’intimité, dans le Mémorial George VI de la chapelle du château où elle avait vécu ses dernières années. Elle reposera près de ses parents et du prince Philip décédé en avril 2021. Ils étaient restés mariés 73 ans.

Après 12 jours épuisants de voyages dans les quatre nations constitutives du Royaume Uni, de bains de foule conjugués au deuil d’une mère, Charles III, 73 ans, devra écrire sa propre histoire.

Certains rêvaient d’une transition rapide avec le nouveau prince de Galles, son fils William, 40 ans. Mais Charles III a promis, comme sa mère, de servir toute sa vie.

Solennel, rassembleur, accessible et inclusif, ses premiers pas ont rassuré, avec la présence apaisante de Camilla à ses côtés.

Sa cote de popularité a grimpé en flèche, désormais à 70% selon un nouveau sondage YouGov qui place William à 80%.

Mais les défis, nombreux, ne font que commencer. Dès mardi, le Royaume-Uni reprend le fil de sa vie suspendue depuis le 8 septembre. La crise du coût de la vie et les mouvements sociaux devraient rapidement refaire la Une des journaux.

Britain and world say final goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

Britain and the world said a final goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II at a state funeral Monday that drew presidents and kings, princes and prime ministers — and crowds who massed along the streets of London to honour a monarch whose 70-year reign defined an age.

A day packed with events in London and Windsor began early when the doors of 900-year-old Westminster Hall were closed to mourners after hundreds of thousands had filed in front of her flag-draped coffin. Many had waited for hours in line, including through cold nights, to attend the lying in state in an outpouring of collective grief and respect.

“I felt like I had to come and pay my final respects to our majestic queen. She has done so much for us and just a little thank you really from the people,” said Tracy Dobson, who was among the last to join the line.

In a country known for pomp and pageantry, the first state funeral since Winston Churchill’s was filled with spectacle: 142 Royal Navy sailors drew the gun carriage carrying Elizabeth’s coffin to Westminster Abbey, with King Charles III and his sons, Princes William and Harry, walking behind as bagpipers played. Pall bearers carried the coffin into the abbey, where around 2,000 people ranging from world leaders to health care workers gathered to mourn her. Ahead of the service, a bell tolled 96 times — once a minute for each year of her life.

“Here, where Queen Elizabeth was married and crowned, we gather from across the nation, from the Commonwealth, and from the nations of the world, to mourn our loss, to remember her long life of selfless service, and in sure confidence to commit her to the mercy of God our maker and redeemer,” the dean of the medieval abbey, David Hoyle, told the mourners.

Monday has been declared a public holiday in honour of Elizabeth, who died September 8 — and hundreds of thousands of people descended on central London to partake in the historic moment. Long before the service began, city authorities said viewing areas along the route of the funeral’s procession were full.

Millions more were expected to tune into the funeral live on television, and crowds flocked to parks and public spaces across the UK to watch it on screens. Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said in his sermon that “few leaders receive the outpouring of love we have seen” for Elizabeth.

On the evening before, Charles issued a message of thanks to people in the UK and around the world, saying he and his wife Camilla, the queen consort, have been “moved beyond measure” by the large numbers of people who have turned out to pay their respects to the queen.

Following the funeral, the coffin — ringed by units of the armed forces in dress uniforms and members of her family — will be brought through the capital’s streets to Wellington Arch near Hyde Park.

There, it will be placed in a hearse to be driven to Windsor Castle — where Elizabeth spent much of her time — for another procession before a committal service in St George’s Chapel. She will be laid to rest with her late husband, Prince Philip, at a private family service.

US President Joe Biden was among leaders to pay their respects at the queen’s coffin on Sunday as thousands of police, hundreds of British troops and an army of officials made final preparations for the funeral.

Biden called Queen Elizabeth II “decent” and “honourable” and “all about service” as he signed the condolence book, saying his heart went out to the royal family.

People across Britain paused for a minute of silence at 8pm Sunday in memory of the only monarch most have ever known. At Westminster Hall, the constant stream of mourners paused for 60 seconds as people observed the minute of reflection in deep silence.

In Windsor, rain began to fall as the crowd fell silent for the moment of reflection. Some camped overnight outside the castle in order to reserve the best spots to view the queen’s coffin.

Jilly Fitzgerald, who was in Windsor, said there was a sense of community among the mourners as they prepared to wait hours to see procession carrying the queen’s coffin.

“It’s good to be with all the people who are all feeling the same. It’s like a big family because everyone feels that … the queen was part of their family,” she said.___

Awkward? Charles III meets Antigua and Barbuda’s PM days after he vowed to hold referendum to remove him as Head of State

Black Immigrant Daily News

DAILY MAIL:

King Charles III met the rebellious Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda at Buckingham Palace today just days after he threatened to hold a republican referendum to ditch The Crown and remove Britain’s monarch as the Commonwealth country’s head of state – ahead of the ‘reception of the century’ for 1,000 VIPs including world leaders and foreign royals tonight.

The new sovereign smiled and waved at well-wishers who cheered him as he was driven through the palace gates in the state Rolls-Royce this afternoon.

After meeting Prime Minister Liz Truss in the 1844 Room at 12.15pm, Charles shook hands with Gaston Browne, the Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, who has renewed efforts to stage a referendum on the country becoming a republic within three years of the Queen‘s death.

The King and Queen Consort Camilla will tonight host hundreds of dignitaries, from world leaders including US President Joe Biden, New Zealand’s prime minister Jacinda Ardern and Canadian premier Justin Trudeau to senior members of the British royal family, ambassadors from almost all nations, and foreign royals including Japan’s Emperor Naruhito and the Kings and Queens from Holland, Norway and Spain.

Most dignitaries are also expected to view the Queen‘s coffin in the ancient heart of Parliament after being given a VIP timeslot – raising the prospect that mourners who have queued through the night will pay their respects with leaders of the free world.

However, guests asked to wear lounge suits and morning dress rather than ball gowns and white tie as would be expected at a usual state event at the King’s London home. They will arrive at 6pm for drinks and canapes in the Buckingham Palace picture gallery and state apartments.

And reports suggest that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were ‘uninvited’ to a state reception for world leaders and foreign royals this evening.

Mr Biden, who flew in late last night, said that the Queen ‘defined an era’ after she reigned for a record-breaking 70 years. Australia’s anti-monarchy Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who viewed the lying-in-state and met Charles yesterday, told Sky News Australia that the Queen was ‘a constant reassuring presence’. There was also a private audience at Buckingham Palace for Ms Ardern, which like Australia and 12 other Commonwealth realms now counts Charles as its sovereign.

Confusion over flag protocol

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Trinidad and Tobago Newsday

News

The national flag was flown at half-mast at the Red House, Abercromby Street, Port of Spain, on Friday, as sign of respect to the passing of Elizabeth II on Thursday. – JEFF K MAYERS

UNCERTAINTY reigned over what was the proper protocol for flying the TT flag at half-mast to mourn the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and whether in fact it has been properly followed. A statement by the Ministry of National Security on September 8 had said when the flag should be flown at half-mast, but this seemed at odds with what was being carried out in the UK and US, and with what Newsday observed agencies in TT doing.

The ministry has said, “The flag is to be flown at half-mast beginning immediately today (September 8), tomorrow (September 9) and as well on the day of Her Majesty’s funeral service (September 19).” While the instruction seemed to suggest the TT flag be flown at full-mast on the other ten days between the news of the Queen’s death after September 9 and up to September 19, Newsday in fact saw many government and private organisations flying it half-mast throughout.

To add to the uncertainty, the British Government advised the union flag be flown at half-mast throughout the period. “Following the death of Her Majesty The Queen, all official flags, including the Union Flag, should be half-masted from as soon as possible today until 08.00 the day following The Queen’s State Funeral.

“Flags may be flown overnight during this period but should remain at half-mast.”

International media houses reported US President Joe Biden ordering all US flags to be flown at half mast throughout the period from the Queen’s death to her funeral. The UK Telegraph reported, “Joe Biden ordered US flags to be flown at half-mast for the next 10 days until the Queen’s state funeral.”

However, the questionable positioning of a comma in Biden’s original announcement on the White House website in fact suggested to Newsday the half mast be observed only on the day of the funeral. This was a Proclamation on the Death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8.

It read, “As a mark of respect for the memory of Queen Elizabeth II, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, on the day of interment.”

Newsday’s interpretation was that if the half-mast was to run for the entire ten day period, Biden’s statement should have omitted a comma to instead read, “until sunset on the day of interment.” Biden said the flag should be flown at half mast at all US embassies and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels.

Newsday was unable to contract Minister of National Security Fitzgerald Hinds to clarify the advice.
