Hurricane Milton post #6: “It’s giving outages!”

Tap to view at full size.

Please pardon the title. I thought I’d experiment with a little Gen Z vernacular. No cap.

Pictured above is the outage map for TECO (Tampa Electric COmpany) as of 10:50 pm. EDT (UTC-4) on Wednesday, August 9. As you can see, we’re approaching 250,000 households without power, and we’re one of them. We still have internet because our router and wifi base station are connected to an uninterruptable power supply with a battery I replaced in the spring.
