As of 7 a.m., Gulf Power has restored service to essentially all customers in Northwest Florida who were affected by Tropical Storm Fred, which was a strong storm with 65 mph winds at landfall. Approximately 20,000 customers, mostly in Bay, Washington, Holmes and Jackson counties, lost power as the storm’s outer bands moved through the eastern portion of the service area, after making landfall near Apalachicola.
