Hi all,
Looking at the SECO outage map, there appears to be apx. 112 households out of power from Buena Vista Blvd on the west, Pellon Place on the north, Red Hill Road on the east and Golden Grove Drive on the south. Outage was reported at 8:15pm tonight. How often does this happen? Are the outages usually short (some hours) or longer (some days)? Thanks! Kevin |

In the 3 1/2 years living here had one outage for about 10 minutes during IRMA a couple years ago. We're just north of 466A near Colony off Morse. Other than that, not even a blink that I have noticed. Anything over 15 seconds would be recorded by my backup device (UPS) software on my PC.

How do you see the map of where there is Seco power outage?

I think, and this is a guess, most outages are them working on the distribution. Trying to keep up with TV adding 400 houses a month. I also think they are mostly at night. Occasionally when I get up in the morning my computer has restarted, and I never turn it off. So, expect power goes out occasionally at night. In a year and a half, I think it went off once during the day.

Aha, I thought so. But when I go to that site a map comes up but 0 power outages everywhere. What should I do next?

Right, thank you. They worked quickly. If we had one, I didn’t notice. Not enough time to try out the new generator, or even to unbox it.

We get occasional blips in our power, maybe once every two months. They're almost always accompanied by an electrical storm, so I'm assuming a transformer box got tickled by static electricity rather than a direct hit from a lightning bolt.
I think in the two years I've been living here, we've had an outage lasting more than a few minutes - three times total. The longest was less than 2 hours. |

In that kind of heat 8 hours is enough. Eight days must have been amazing. We bailed out to a friend's house in Georgia and came home because we were told the power was restored. We were surprised to find it in fact was restored and then lost again. Ever since IRMA it happens occasionally for a few moments. No big deal. As soon as we get a house on the Historic Side wild horses couldn't keep me from buying the best Generac ![]() ![]() |

You need to do a test run on that generator to make sure you are ready and know how to crank it when the time comes. Use only non-ethanol gas in it
