I tried to submit the info on the report link but it said to call them. Of course, you can't call because the number is busy. When I checked on the map as to the current outages, it shows all is normal in Sumter. Guess there is nothing to be done but drink a glass of wine and chill in the pool. All you guys who asked if you really need a pool...

Someone said at that time it was "unacceptable". I just shook my head.

Probably you will not get a definitive answer as to why.

Just keep in mind that it is an annoyance, not a disaster.

And it will pass. Not a brownout. A new area Pain in the neck.

or lower.

It is 'unacceptable '. Stuff happens but this is two hours now. One more nail in Florida's coffin.

215 same issue,

I'm powering the house thru our solar golf cart

Jimbo, surely you can figure out what's going on and how to fix it.

Same problem in Village of Duval south of 466A.

So tired of all the negativity from the same sources. A two hour power outage is NOTHING! Go to a country club or rec center or movie up north. Here in WA state we have had power outages in the capital city of Olympia for 5 to 10 DAYS (not hours)- in the rain, in the winter when kids have to get up and go to school and parents need to get to work. Neighbors help each other, life goes on and you have a little adventure! My goodness!

I am in a rental villa in Fernandina. It seems the power outages have caused the A/C to shut down and it has not been coming back on when the power comes back. We just turned it to off at the thermostat for a few minutes and when we switched it on it started. Yeah!

Let's hold our collective breaths, but it has been over 10-15 minutes with no outage. Hopefully it is fixed.

[jimbo2012]

Yep, I found the problem, it was a lose wire.

LMAO !!!!!

[njbchbum]

could the outages be related to this project:
Village Community Development Districts
SECO Energy Project on Buena Vista Boulevard
On Monday, September 9th, SECO Energy, your locally owned and operated electric cooperative, will begin installation of a new electric line in the Villages to meet the needs of a growing population and to supply energy for the expansion of Brownwood, including new medical complexes, retail facilities and a large chain grocery store.
The project is expected to take approximately three months to complete and requires 57,000 feet of cable to be installed in stages along the transportation trail along Buena Vista Boulevard from Highway 466A in the Villages to Highway 44 at Brownwood.
All transportation trails and tunnels will remain open thanks to the cooperative efforts of SECO, the Villages Community Development District and the Developer. There will be short, clearly marked detours as the work progresses in stages along the trail.
At this time, it is anticipated that all work will be conducted during daylight hours. Residents are encouraged to use particular caution in the areas where work is taking place. For more information or if you have questions regarding this project; please call your local SECO office at 352-793-3801.

A couple of hours without power is nothing to complain about. Go to dinner, have a couple of drinks, go to a movie. If necessary, go to a hotel.

Complaining about power blinking or minor outage is as trivial as the man who did not get vanilla ice cream on his pie and posted a complaint on TOTV.

I agree with buggy one, look at the people on Boulder right now with the flooding. The loss of homes and the loss of life. I would take a power outage for few hours anyday! Certainly may be annoying, but not life threatening.

Last year following Sandy we had no power for 6 days and it was cold. No power means no heat either. Lines at the gas stations hours long with people fortunate enough to have a generator trying to get fuel. Others with a generators had them stolen. You actually didn't hear a lot of people complaining.
