Today I woke up to no cell service. That in itself is not strange but the lights were also not working. And the landline phone in the kitchen was not working either which is very strange. Come to find out all the data and electricity to Uruguay was cut off. Until about 11:00 AM MVD time, there was; no internet, no electricity, no cell service, no phone service, and I am sure a whole host of other things that went out that I did not notice or dont use.
