That's all there is, no word on whether or not power had been restored or the cause of the blackout.

It was not immediately clear if his compound had a backup source of electricity. Could not The One simply say, "Let there be light"?

Maybe the island got sucked into a Black Hole.
Or it got hit by a tsunami.

A blackout, you say!
He and Michelle prolly both had their makeup mirrors plugged in, admiring themselves.

OK, I’m ready for the cries of “overly suspicious”, “paranoid”, “tinfoil hat” etc.....
