    Gulf Power has done a remarkable job restoring power after a Michael. At its peak, there were around 120,000+ customers (not people) without power. The storm hit Wednesday and after four days of work, approximately half have been restored. Bay County, which bared most of the damage, was almost 100% off line as of end of day of the storm. This morning, 50% have power restored.

    Just a great response by some dedicated employees and contractors.
