Everyone in the Virgin Islands has a WAPA story

Everyone in the Virgin Islands has a WAPA story. Now there's a record to hold it against.

This video is the highlights. The 43-page report is the deep dive. The data is the evidence itself: every raw response the map gave, free for anyone to check.

Both are archived on Zenodo, the open research archive run by CERN, the European physics laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. Each one has a permanent DOI, and once published, the files cannot be altered by WAPA, by anyone, or by me.

The report is free to share with credit. The data is free with no conditions at all. The links are in the first comment.

Do you finally feel vindicated? Or does seeing what we all knew written down just make it worse, knowing it still isn't fixed?

Tell me in the comments. If you're elsewhere in the Caribbean, tell me whether your utility keeps a record you can check.

Special thanks to CERN, Zenodo, and Georgia Institute of Technology IODA program.
