During a recent briefing, Governor Ron DeSantis revealed that power in Taylor County and the surrounding counties of the Big Bend area of Florida is currently experiencing widespread outages. The Governor stated that the situation is critical, with power being 'all basically out' in the affected areas.
According to Governor DeSantis, discussions have been held with utility companies such as Duke Energy to address the power outages. It was noted that some areas may require complete rebuilding of power transmission infrastructure, which could prolong the restoration process compared to simply reconnecting power lines.
