Sebastian Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
Emergency manager reported that State Road A1A was closed in the Pelican Island National Wildlife Preserve due to powerlines blocking the roadway.
Florida Power and Light reported that four wooden power poles were snapped several feet from ground level as a severe thunderstorm moved into a mostly rural area just west of Interstate 95 and south of Highway 60. Photos of the damage suggest straight-line winds of 90-100 mph likely impacted the area.
A strong thunderstorm intensified to severe levels upon approach to the coast at Vero Beach. The storm produced winds which toppled a tree onto a house and caused damage to the roof. Nearby, the winds blew the arm of a construction crane into power lines, taking the lines down. Strong winds also blew a large tree limb down which took down power lines. The wind damage affected 16th street and the south side of Vero Beach south of the intersection of 4th Street and U.S. Highway 1. Damage reports were received from police officials and the Scripps Treasure Coast newspaper.
