CNN.com has supposedly live coverage, but no sound for some reason. WESH has a very brief article about it and says that Orange Co. is being affected by the outage, but I don't know if this will affect the parks.
Supposedly two nuclear reactors have gone down, but it's not weather related. Sounds a little bizarre.

My power is fine, thank you... But we have had a problem with the traffic lights being dead....
Disney is not on it's own power source but it does have multiple powergrids. There is a plant on site, but most of the power is purchased by Tampa Electric then distributed by however they (WDW) deems necessary. Here's your link though to Bay News 9 in Tampa:

I'm in Gainesville (North-Central Florida) and my lab has power but we have an independent power source. Traffic lights being out is worrisome but I haven't ventured out to know what our power situation is. I actually had no clue about it until I came on here so thanks for looking out for us Floridians :wave:
Edit: Apparently we have lost power in some parts of town. Ew.

I'm in Miami and we had no power for about an hour... it just came back on about 30 min. ago but apparently it affected all the way up to Jacksonville.

First report I read in one of the Florida papers said it was weather related, not its updated to power plant shutdown...:shrug:
Talked to my daughter in Tampa and she said half the city was out for awhile, but she (at UT) never lost power. She said that everything in the city seems to be working now, from what she can see.
EDIT: It was on CNN.com that said it was weather related, thats still there but they have added that the cause was not immediately known.
CNN is off on the numbers 680,000 to 800,000 without power.

I am in the southern edge of Jacksonville and we have not has so much as a flicker or a brown out. The sky is starting to look pretty evil though. The rain should hit just in time for me to be driving home in the deluge.
