Default Internet/electricity problems ?

Does anyone know if there are electricity problems in the Boca Chica area? I have tried for weeks to contact a friend via internet and had no response.

Thanks,
Money

I have a home in Boca Chica. I was there for the last two weeks of August and the power didn't go out once in that time. I don't know about after Sept. 1st.

Nothing out of the ordinary.. Who are you trying to get ahold of, an expat, or a native? (serious question)
