“I would just urge people to be very careful. There’s a lot of debris out there, particularly as you get into the northern part of the Panhandle.”
I think people did take precautions, and I think the local officials did a really good job of helping spread the word.
Right now, 93% of traffic signals are operational in storm impacted areas, including 320 that are operating on temporary general generator power.
We now have essentially full restoration in Bay County, Okaloosa is over 96% restored, and Washington County’s over 91% were restored.
