Massive power outage hits Florida

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Massive power outages struck Florida on Tuesday afternoon, with power reported out from Miami to Jacksonville on the east coast and as far north as Tampa on the Gulf coast, police and utility officials said.

About 4.4 million customers across South Florida were affected, Florida Power and Light officials said.

The outage struck shortly after 1 p.m., as scattered thunderstorms passed through the region. But the cause of the outage was not immediately known.

In Washington, officials at the Department of Homeland Security said there was no immediate concern that terrorism was behind the outage.

Stan Johnson, a spokesman for the North American Electric Reliability Council, said eight power plants were off-line across the region, but officials believe the outage has been contained.

Detective Robert Williams, a Miami-Dade County police spokesman, said power was out across the entire county.

Outages stretched into neighboring Broward County, which includes Fort Lauderdale, he said.

In Palm Beach County, spotty outages ranged from Riviera Beach to Boca Raton, said sheriff's spokeswoman Teri Barbera.

Those three counties are home to nearly 6 million people.

Kite-surfing incident leads to massive power failure. Hair gel adds to the problem. Tonight at 11, if the power is back.

Not funny people.

My current hairstyle requires 10 minutes with a straightening iron, blow-drying, and of course, my vanity mirror is no where near an adequate natural light source.




I think I'm going to ask for a crew cut this weekend.

Hmm. I've still got power. Maybe not for long though....
