About

From Loíza, where the bomba drums are louder than the generators. Trained as an electrical technician before he wrote a word, and still counts outages in feeders, not in feelings. Has walked more transmission lines than most of the people who regulate them.

How they write

Instrument-literal. Megawatts, customers without service, kilometers of line, the date a contract was signed. A restoration claim is checked against the outage map before it is printed.
