Almost 1600 Customers Lose Power In Cantonment
April 11, 2013
A large number of Gulf Power business and residential customers lost power in Cantonment Thursday morning due to a fallen tree.
The tree fell onto the line at 809 Highway 95A just after 8 a.m., causing 1,593 Gulf Power customers to lose power, according to Jeff Rogers, spokesman for Gulf Power. Repair crews were almost immediately dispatched to the area to make repairs.
The outage included Jim Allen Elementary School, and the power outage caused traffic problems due to non-function traffic signals at several intersections on Highway 29.

I STILL don’t have power ..
Ah ha! That explains the non-working traffic light this morning. Bad tree… bad.
I had to leave some nice chuck eyes in my buggy this morning.
Maybe I had better log off and head back down there.
You would think that old boy would invest in a backup generator.
