Power Restored To All Homes Not Damaged
February 19, 2008
About 4,500 customers were without power in the Molino area after an apparent tornado touchdown around noon Sunday. But most of those customers are now back on. Gulf Power says that electricty has been restored to every home or business in the area that is not damaged.
After the storm, Gulf Power cut power as a precaution to the entire Molino area due to the large number of power lines down. Up to 4,500 customers were in the dark at one point. About 1,500 of them have had their power restored. A major high voltage feeder line was also damaged in the storm.
A major outage was also reported after a different storm in the Walnut Hill area. Customers were without power for about two hours.
Pictures above: Power poles all around the path of the storm were snapped and power lines were down all around the Molino area, like this pole snapped in front of a home off Crest Lane. NorthEscambia.com exclusive photo. Click to enlarge
