POWER RESTORED

Gulf Power crews continued to work through last night to restore power to the last hundred or so customers still without power with help from crews from Georgia Power. Nearly 27,000 Gulf Power customers in northwest Florida lost power because of heavy winds and rain from Tropical Storm Gordon, with the majority of outages occurring in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. Crews from Gulf Power, Georgia Power, as well as contractors and fresh Gulf Power crews from the Panama City and Fort Walton Beach areas were all involved in restoring power.
