A survey is underway to determine gas supplies in Nassau County and we will update that information separately before noon. Power outages continue in Nassau County, particularly on Amelia Island. As of 8am, this morning, FPL reported more than 15,000 without power, mostly west of the intracoastal waterway. Florida Public Utilities, which supplies all power needs to Amelia Island, reports there is NO power due to major transmission line damage. Okefenokee Power also reports a down transmission line impacting more than 5,000 customers in Nassau. We will supply an updated report early this afternoon following a noon damage assessment tour by the Director of Emergency Management, Billy Estep.
