Only hours after Paloma’s worst winds died down, Little Cayman’s two resident linesmen were out assessing the damage.

Undaunted by 138 downed and damaged power poles on the Island, Waide Moore and Philburn ‘Bujo’ Ayton rolled up their sleeves and got down to work. Busy from dawn to dusk, the team managed to restore power to the Southern Cross Club just two days after the storm.

Caribbean Utilities Company (CUC) workers have since joined the two linesmen in their recovery effort and power was restored to the Little Cayman Beach Resort on Wednesday.

Power is expected to be back up at the Village Square, Paradise Villas and the Edward Bodden Airfield on Little Cayman by the weekend.
