We took a big hit here, but we stayed online. The plant next to ours got kicked off. We're still trying to get answers from Teco as to what exactly happened

My various FPL sources say, two generators went out in turkey point... Effectively causing spotty blackouts from the keys to north florida.

Its coming back bit by bit as rerouting occurs. A big outtage for no storm.

I was watching the news from miami online and FP&L was quoted as saying "a mjor transmission line failure caused the outage".
