Power was gradually returning to Puerto Rico Thursday night after the US commonwealth was hit with a massive outage — nearly seven months after Hurricane Maria destroyed much of the island’s infrastructure and its electrical grid.

The utility tweeted an image it said was of the tree that fell across a power line near the southeast mountain town of Cayey. Watch Video>>>
