Massive Power Outage Hits South Florida
In an erie reminder of the massive blackout that hit the North-East back in 2003, South Florida residents were hit with a large-scale power outage this afternoon. Early reports from an official with the Metro-Dade Police Dept. I spoke with indicate that the grid from Miami all the way up to Ft. Lauderdale has been knocked out.
Rest assured, I'm on the case and will update this posting with any information I can get my hands on.
UPDATE - 1:43 p.m. EST
Apparently, the outage is sporadic throughout the region, and not a solid loss of service all the way up the coastline.
UPDATE - 3:21 p.m. EST
Sigh . . . I hesitate to post a link to a CastroNewsNetwork story but, well, here's some further information on this developing story.

As my mother said during the Great Blackout of 1965, "I bet it's those damn Russians".

It's all beginning to look, not like little Havana, but like Gran Habana con el apagon.
