Crazy weather thread

As Milton moves eastward, he leaves the lights off for LOTS of Floridians. My elder sister hunkered down in Volusia County. The FPL Power Tracker reports her county has 126,190 customers lacking service out of a total of 152,390 Affected by the passing storm. That puts her in the #3 position with her fellow residents-in-the-dark under FPL control (in a manner of speaking). She'd better not call me on her cellphone with draining battery to complain about her conditions. :nono:

The various power companies across the state are hedging their bets by warning of "greater than usual wait times for restoration." Open-ended promises are SO comforting.

Update 10/10: I spoke at length with my sister this afternoon. Power stayed on through the passing of Milton at her apartment (her side of the street gets service from Duke Energy, not Florida Power & Light). LOTS of blinding rain & high winds started around 3 AM; she said it sounded like a tornado, but there's no immediate evidence of one. She & her neighbors spent part of the midday cleaning debris from the surrounding property, and she called in a live wire dangling & sparking that was detached fron a tall light pole on the church property behing her triplex. Otherwise, Central Florida living continues in her small world ... waiting for the next storm ... :facepalm:
 


Being described as a "rare" event in December for the area.

ETA: 5 minutes on the ground, traveling 30 yards. It must've just dropped in for a Starbucks drive-thru visit.

DALLAS — It was a tale of two sides of the Metroplex yesterday.

If you live above the freezing line, you likely enjoyed the fluffy, packable snow that fell thickly in parts of North Texas yesterday. If you live below the freezing line you likely saw little to no accumulation and looked at your neighbors to the north with either envy or relief.

Official snowfall totals confirm that some North Texans experienced over seven inches of snowfall yesterday, according to data from the National Weather Service. However, on average, those living north of Dallas County saw about four inches of snow while those south of Dallas County saw little to no accumulation, according to official snowfall totals.

The area that received the most snowfall was near the Texas-Oklahoma border and areas northwest of the Metroplex, according to the snow totals collected by the National Weather Service so far.
