The storm spared Tampa, but flooded streets and homes throughout western Florida. Power outages were widespread, and deaths have been reported from severe weather.
Some reports say 9 dead. I saw somewhere that 72 was the max number of tornadoes within a short time period. Anyone know if these tornadoes are setting a record?
The storm knocked out power to more than 3 million customers, flooded barrier islands, tore the roof off a baseball stadium and toppled a construction crane.
Holy shit, 3 million customers! This is horrible for the companies, will they be ok?
I think customers, clients, or accounts is a fair term in this instance. Houses, apartments, condos, businesses, etc. likely contain more than one person. 3 million structures of some form or function are without electricity which could easily have effects on twice that amount of people
As someone currently experiencing power loss in Tampa, i can state that I am not a company. Neither is my mom, who is also a customer of Tampa Electric, a family. Your entire comment thread on here is grabbing at an accurate statement and trying to turn it into something it's not.
I think that, as someone that is directly affected, your comments are more insulting than the article.
I know, that’s the first thing I thought of too. Someone should open a Kickstarter so we can help replace the lost revenue because of this. I feel so bad for the investors ☹️.
