2016 Hurricane Recap
Paisley in Lake County Florida
The powers to be in
the Florida Government
are telling the people in Lake County Florida.
Because there is not
enough damage
reported in the county.
No one can get
assistance
from
the government
of Florida
or
FEMA!
Every one of them
wants to help and is trying to help.
However,
Governor
Rick Scott refuses to call it a disaster area?
It would seem that
there was not enough
dollar damage in the Lake county area
to allow FEMA's
help?
Please explain this
to our home, and the neighborhood.
While you are at it
with your explanation,
Please ask SECO!
SECO's report
Tropical Storm Colin
Tropical Storm Colin
made landfall in the late night hours on Monday, June 6.
Colin is the first
named storm to make landfall in Florida since Andrea in 2013.
While Colin moved
across the state, parts of SECO’s service area experienced tropical-storm-force
winds and extended periods of heavy rainfall.
Colin caused only a
small number of outages in SECO’s area.
Crews worked quickly
and safely to restore these outages within hours.
Hurricane Hermine
made landfall as a
Category 1 hurricane in the Big Bend area
on Friday, September 2.
Hermine brought
buckets of rain and high winds to the area,
causing
approximately 14,000 total service interruptions.
Along with the
hurricane, tornadoes touched down in Sumter County.
Members in Marion,
Levy and Citrus counties
were hardest hit by Hurricane Hermine.
The SECO team did a
stellar job in quickly restoring power by midnight that Friday.
Hurricane Matthew
Hurricane Matthew
became an extremely powerful Category 3 hurricane
that hugged Florida’s east
coast as it traveled north
Thursday, October 6.
Though Matthew
didn’t make landfall in Florida, the storm brought rain and very strong winds
to SECO’s service area.
The hurricane
accounted for
approximately 28,000 outages
for SECO members.
The area hardest hit
was East Lake County,
which suffered extensive damage.
Broken trees,
damaged utility poles,
flooding
and
roadway debris
were challenges for
SECO
crews
and
contractors.
By early Saturday
afternoon,
all SECO members’
power was restored.
However,
the damage
to our homes
still remain!
