Reason given is precautionary measures. AP reported that there were fighter jets overhead, but that is NOT confirmed. At this time FPL reports that av. 4 million customers are affected. All schools are dismissed at this time. Expected time of restoration is up to 10 hours.

Florida Lambda Rail spans the state, and we have seen a couple of edge connectors have power issues, but the infrastructure has held very well.
