Life on Florida’s West Coast

Florida Blackout

I am reading now that there is a massive blackout in large parts of the state. Our power went out when the storm line began to come through this morning, but it only stayed off for about 15 minutes. It’s been back on ever since, so I could us as very lucky.

Evidently, power is out from Miami to Jacksonville on the east coast and as far north as Tampa on the Gulf coast, according to police and utility officials.

I’m in the Tampa area, on the coast actually, so I feel blessed right now.
