Storms Cut Power For Thousands
April 26, 2015
Gulf Power Company reported over 18,000 customers without power in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties following a line of storms Saturday afternoon.
One of the largest single outages was in the Molino area where about 2,000 customers were out from Quinette Road north to South Pine Barren Road and along Highway 97.
By midnight, less than 3,000 customers were still without power, and by 6 a.m. all but abut 100 customers had been restored. The utility said most customers were restored by 9 a.m. Sunday.

Thank you Gulf Power. You have never let us down…
well, they made a liar out of me. went through that bad weather and no trouble. no sooner do i brag on escambia river co op with the sun shining brightly, my power goes off. lol. last time i do that.
That was a bad storm, came in quickly. It helped remind me of how little control I have in this life, the Lord can give and the Lord can take away, blessed be the name of the Lord.
Praying for the Mobile Bay Boaters.
I am a esc river electric customer my power never went off. Thats great. A couple years back it would go off and on 2 or 3 times a day 3 or 4 times a week. Now its a rare event. Thanks guys

Power went out, was back on at 8:30 pm. Good job Gulf Power! Glad it wasn’t hot yesterday.
Great job getting the power back to those of us out on Hwy 97! Thanks to all the fine workers!
