· FPL.com/powertracker is currently
reporting outages directly resulting from Hurricane Irma. As we complete
restoration, more outages may be reported by customers for three reasons:
o
Weakened
trees / loose connections:
Customers may experience limited outages over the coming weeks and months due
to weakened trees and branches that could impact power lines and electric
equipment. In addition, significant wind speeds have loosened electrical
connections throughout the system that can lead to increased outages following
the storm. FPL crews will continue to make needed repairs as they are identified.
o
Normal
outages: Some of the
outages in these areas are a result of normal, day-to-day activity and are not
related to Irma. This includes for example, a car crashing into a pole,
causing thousands of outages.
o
Single
customers out of service:
these single outages were not initially identified as Irma-related outages.
We’re identifying these individual customers as they report their outages and
as our crews complete restoration of the neighborhood lines and identify them
as still being out of service.
·
More
than 8,000 restoration workers are committed to restoring service for all
customers in Miami-Dade county.
· Customers who live in an area where
power is essentially restored, but do not currently have electricity, should
report their outage at FPL.com/outage.
FPL forgot the 4th reason for an outage. Non-payment of the electric bill.
ReplyDeleteSome people couldn't even pay their bill because there was no power, internet or mail, also fpl said they are waving any late fees due to the hurricane, plus bank's & ATMs had no point to get funds to get cash to take their parents to a fpl payment center, one way or another FPL will get their money
ReplyDeleteEven before the hurricane my area in Palmetto Bay would have brief power interruptions due to loose connections, I've notified FPL but they haven't even attempted to ck into the problem, this is been going on for years, its pay all their fees, taxes bills on time, their are 12 residents on this small grid you would think it could have been taken care of after 5 years
ReplyDeleteI have an elderly neighbor 87 years of age that has A electric oxygen machine & I brought her my generator & refueled every 3 hours so she can breathe, they never delivered her oxygen tanks , she can't afford her own generator, she had channel 7 over their the other day, I know FPL is doing an awesome job, but they need to start checking the connections so she doesn't parish
