"Massive Power Outages Plague Brazil's Largest City Following Devastating Storm"

Half a million residents of Sao Paulo, Brazil, are still without electricity three days after a storm knocked down power cables, leaving much of the city in the dark. The storm caused severe damage to the power grid due to falling trees and branches, cutting off 2.1 million customers initially. Energy distribution company ENEL has restored service to 76% of its customers but 500,000 are still without power. The government plans to ask ENEL for an explanation, and the state prosecutors office will investigate the prolonged outage and ENEL's emergency response capabilities.
