Power and Health Risk: Golden Gates residents report severe, prolonged outages—sleeping in cars, spoiled food and missed work—while Prime Minister Davis links the reliability push to LNG plans and a strained energy system. Maternal Emergency at Sea: A pregnant passenger on Carnival Sunrise was medically evacuated by the U.S. Coast Guard near Government Cut after sudden pregnancy complications, then transferred to Mount Sinai Medical Center.
