Additionally:
The two nuclear reactors at Turkey Point (south of Miami) have
been shut down. Reason given is precautionary measures. The
AP reported that there were fighter jets overhead, but that is
NOT confirmed. At this time FPL reports that ~4 million customers
are affected. All schools are dismissed at this time. Expected time
of restoration is up to 10 hours.
- From the FPL website:
"Florida Power & Light Company reports that it expects to restore service
to most customers affected by the current outage within approximately two
hours. Customers who have signed up for the On Call service may not have
the use of those affected appliances for an additional hour. The system is
being restored in a systematic process to ensure its safe operation at all
times. The company does not have a cause for the outage, which is affecting
several hundred thousand customers but the system responded as designed to
ensure the outage was contained. We ask you to please call us only in an
emergency situation so we can keep our lines open for emergency calls."
