| How Many Are Without Power In Florida |
So, How Dark Is It Out There?
According to the latest intel from poweroutage.us, as of Wednesday, June 5th, 2024, it seems a relatively small number of Floridians are suffering through a power outage. We're talking around 328 unfortunate souls, which is a far cry from the blackout bonanzas we've seen after hurricanes.
But hey, even one person without Netflix and a working blender is a tragedy! Our hearts go out to those battling the heat and the lack of reruns.
Who's Got the Most Shade? (Besides the Palm Trees)
While the exact numbers are a bit fuzzy (thanks to the ever-changing nature of power grids and people reporting outages), it seems like South Florida might be bearing the brunt of the blackouts. Miami-Dade County appears to be leading the pack with a cool (pun intended) 164 customers without power.
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.
Maybe this is a sign for a Miami dance party under the moonlight? Just a thought.
Power Outage Pro Tip: How to Channel Your Inner Floridian MacGyver
Alright, alright, so you're one of the unlucky few stuck in the dark. Don't fret! Here in Florida, we practically have a Ph.D. in surviving the unexpected. Here are some tips to get you through:
- Embrace the breeze! Dust off that fan you haven't used since, well, never, and get some air circulating.
- Flashlight fashion show! Channel your inner 80s kid and have a flashlight tag night (bonus points for glowsticks).
- Unleash your inner chef! Get creative with that cooler full of perishables. We're talking gourmet popsicles made from leftover fruit, anyone?
- Board game bonanza! Who needs electricity when you have the classics? Dust off that Monopoly board and get ready for some serious competition (just don't fight over the thimble).
Remember, this is just a temporary setback. Soon, you'll be back to blasting your AC and arguing with Alexa about the weather.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
