About 7,000 Gulf Power customers in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties were without power as of 7:00 Monday night.
“We have been working all weekend to restore power but the high winds have caused a large number of outages,” said Jeff Rogers, spokesperson with Gulf Power. “We appreciate everyone’s continued patience as we patrol and repair the downed lines.”
As of 7 p.m. Monday, the utility reported that approximately 19,500 customers were without power throughout its service territory.
“Those outages represented 800 different locations across the area we serve,” said Rogers.” Our crews will be working through the night, and we’re using all available resources including contracted crews. We hope to have everyone’s power restored by tomorrow evening.”
