Puerto Rican students lose it when their school’s electricity is finally reconnected

This one’s a pretty powerful one, so prepare yourself.

This video comes from Puerto Rico, shot in the halls of a private school called Academia Bautista de Puerto Nuevo.

And what’s got them so excited will both warm and break your heart: their power’s just been turned on after 112 days.

Yep, they’re so happy because now they can get back to learning.

The San Juan school had been without electricity after Hurricane Maria swept through the Caribbean in September, with the storm damaging power infrastructure throughout Puerto Rico.

But after extensive repairs, the school was reconnected to the power grid on Friday.

Video of the students’ ecstatic reaction is now going viral after staff posted it to the school's Facebook page.

The original video has been viewed more than 300,000 times, with reposts of the powerful clip on other social media accounts taking the count upwards of one million.

And while their happiness is at an ecstatic level, it’s sobering to think that people have gone without power for so long.

It's especially tough when you consider the high temperatures these students and teachers would have had to put up with while trying to get on with life.

This point was not lost on people on Twitter:

When we lose power, we’re generally ropeable after 30 minutes of darkness.

But these poor kids were dealing with it for 112 days.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE DAYS.

And as Carolina Moreno reports for The Huffington Post, about 17% of the island is still waiting for their lights to come back on.
