When you are driving along 10 in the Florida panhandle... somewhere (I think it's east of Tallahassee) there is a massive electric line infrastructure just on the north side of the interstate.
It looks like it can withstand 200 mph winds.
If the rest of the state has that kind of infrastucture, I can see where the damage wasn't as catastrophic and they can get the lines back up earlier.
They (like Entergy I will say) do a good job of massing crews who can work in the neighborhoods.
Where LA struggles is the major infrastrucure is crap and takes longer to rebuild.
Where as it seems the most of the damage in FL is running new lines and flipping breakers.

My power company serves like 15 or so counties, or parts thereof, most are inland areas north of Orlando, with some light coastal areas included. Morning after the storm we were at around 16% outages. 48 hours later, only 0.15% were still without power 
obviously we saw way less destruction than southwest Florida, but it was still an incredible effort by the linemen.

I heard today they are expecting 100% power restoration by Sunday after being hit head on by essentially a cat 5 storm. That’s incredible.

I wonder what kind of infrastructure upgrade and storm restoration charges they will get from their power monopolies, I mean company.

Underground utilities vs overhead lines.

Florida does everything better than this SHITHOLE State
The LaToya’s, Morial’s and Nagin’s would not even be on the ballot

250 trucks with 500+ lineman from other States were thee to help restore power. The article makes it sound like just Florida Light and Gas did all the work.
