Power Plant Blast Blanks South Florida For Hours
A routine generator failure at a Florida Power & Light plant near Miami caused a two hour blackout across Dade and Broward counties from Marathon to Fort Pierce. The outage left about two million residents without power and prompted emergency responses at Holy Cross Hospital where two births occurred under emergency lighting. City residents, including Cuban exiles in Little Havana, reacted with fear and humor as lights flickered and failed across the 200 mile strip. FP&L officials vowed a full investigation into the generator malfunction responsible for the outage.
