Right now, Florida is seeing scattered power outages tied to the extreme cold and a winter storm moving through the Southeast, with around 16,000 customers reported without electricity statewide early today.

Quick Scoop: Where the outages are

Here’s what’s going on as of today (Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026):

  • A major winter storm (Gianna) has pushed unusually cold, icy conditions into Florida, stressing the grid and bringing down some lines.
  • Early-morning estimates put Florida at about 16,000 customers without power, spread across multiple utilities rather than one single hotspot.
  • Northeast Florida has been hit notably hard, with thousands out at various times as utilities work to restore service.

Northeast Florida trouble spots

Local reports from Northeast Florida show specific problem areas where crews have been active:

  • Clay County:
    • Around 700 customers out Sunday morning, with several outages from tree limbs falling on lines in the freezing temperatures.
* Areas listed include Fleming Island (off U.S. 17), the Doctors Lake area (between U.S. 301 and County Road 200A), and a larger outage in Keystone Heights impacting over 400 customers.
  • Jacksonville (JEA service area):
    • About 4,500 customers were without power around 7 a.m., reduced to around 2,500 by 8:15 a.m. as restoration progressed.
* The city has opened a warming center (The Legends Center, 5130 Soutel Drive) and extended its warming-center plan through Monday because of the cold.
  • Other North Florida counties:
    • Florida Power & Light (FPL) has “significant outages” reported in Flagler, Nassau, and Columbia counties.

These numbers move quickly as crews restore power, so what’s listed above is a snapshot from this morning rather than a live count.

How to see outages right now

If you want exact, current locations and counts, the best option is to check the live outage maps from the utilities and aggregators:

  • JEA (Jacksonville and surrounding areas): Online outage map where you can see neighborhoods and estimated restoration times.
  • Clay Electric (Clay County, Keystone Heights, etc.): Co-op outage map showing affected circuits and customer counts.
  • Florida Power & Light (much of coastal and South/North Florida): FPL’s outage map at their dedicated mapping site.
  • Statewide trackers: Florida-wide outage map sites aggregate data from multiple utilities so you can see where and how many are out across the state at a glance.

These maps update frequently, so they’re the best way to answer “where are the power outages in Florida” at this exact moment.

What this means for you today

Because outages are scattered and changing quickly, your own experience will depend heavily on your specific county and utility:

  • If you’re in North or Northeast Florida (Clay County, Jacksonville/Duval, Flagler, Nassau, Columbia), there’s a decent chance of at least brief outages while crews clear limbs and repair lines in the cold.
  • Central Florida utilities are preparing for potential outages tied to severe weather and continued cold, even where large outages haven’t fully materialized yet.
  • Statewide, Florida is part of a larger regional hit, with tens of thousands still out in nearby states from earlier winter weather, which keeps the grid under regional stress.

If your power is out or flickering, utilities are prioritizing larger clusters of customers and critical facilities first, then working down to smaller pockets, so restoration can feel uneven between neighborhoods.

Quick safety and prep notes

While this isn’t a hurricane-style, statewide blackout, winter-driven outages can be uncomfortable and risky in the cold:

  • Use flashlights instead of candles to avoid fire hazards.
  • Stay away from any downed power lines and assume they’re live; call 911 or your utility immediately.
  • If you use a generator, never run it indoors or in a garage because of carbon monoxide risk.
  • If you can’t safely heat your home, look for local warming centers (like Jacksonville’s Legends Center) or contact your city/county for shelter info.
