At just after 4:00am Thursday (12) a thunderbolt of lightning and a crash of thunder shook all of us near the Captain’s Bakery, West Bay Road, George Town and immediately the power went off.

CUC confirmed to iNews Cayman that lightning had struck a utility pole by St. Matthews University Students Residency Hall and emergency crews were in the process of fixing it.

The area affected was not provided but homes and businesses from Helen’s Drive down at least to Parkway were without power.

Electricity was restored by 10:00am.
