Not to make this political, but is this "Fake news"?
Millions without electricity, per the power companies...and you're asking if it's "fake news?"

Really?

Hurricane Irma: 5 million without power in Florida
Quote:

RIVIERA BEACH — More than 5 million people are without power as Hurricane Irma pounds Florida, FPL officials said Sunday during an emergency operations meeting.

The 5 million in the dark represent 2.5 million customer accounts. The company, which serves 5 million accounts representing 10 million people in 35 counties, expects about 3.4 million customer accounts, representing 6 million people will lose power in Irma's wake.
As far as momentary lapses in rain/wind, that's normal and is the reason they're called...'bands.'
