As of 8:30 a.m. Saturday, power has been restored to 3,910 customers.

One main feeder is now up and running, putting Florida Hospital Flagler back on the grid. Another main feeder suffered significant damage but is under repair.

“I am pleased and impressed with what they have been able to get done overnight,” Flagler County Administrator Craig Coffey said. “Progress will continue to increase now that we have daylight and can get assessment crews out.”

There are a number of transformers out throughout Flagler County. See the map for locations.

As always, consider downed power lines as live. Be careful when engaging in debris removal and associated activities.

Flagler Schools Assessing Damage Following Hurricane Matthew; School Closures Announced

Maintenance teams from Flagler Schools are touring all schools and sites today, assessing the damages now that the weather has cleared following Hurricane Matthew. Preliminary checks show some exterior damage at a few sites.

Bunnell Elementary School, Rymfire Elementary School and Buddy Taylor Middle School are still being used as shelters for displaced Flagler County residents.

Superintendent Jacob Oliva has determined because these damage assessments and clean-up operations will take time, as well as the continued need of shelter space for our residents, all schools will remain closed Monday and Tuesday. We are currently developing a timeline for when schools will reopen.
